Based on my own reading (I don't have facts/figures to quote - go look them up yourself) the cost of healthcare is increasing as a result of an aging population plus incidents of cancer and expensive illnesses becoming more common. It appears the cancer mortality rate is decreasing (which means treatment works so less people are dying) but more people comparatively are getting cancer and some other diseases in the first place.

The biggest risk factor for most common cancers is age. Not only does people living longer mean that more people will develop cancer during their lifetimes, it also means that we're seeing more people developing more than one type of primary cancer in their lifetime and more people developing more than one type of primary cancer at the same time.

Many first line cancer treatments are relatively cheap but once those fail you start getting into treatments which are not. All types of cancer treatment also carry with them the risk of future serious health problems, some of which are themselves life threatening, so even successful treatment can lead to significant future healthcare costs.

Shit is really, really, complicated.

There are many claims that his family were exceptionally wealthy on account of his grandfather - however his grandfather had 10 children and 37 grandchildren so it's unclear how "cash rich" his immediate family actually was.

There are 3 children in his family. He was at a $40k/year high school, surely a feeder school before that, if it wasn't all-grades, and no reason to think the other siblings were denied similar schools. So likely for at least 12 years+ there were at least two kids in private school at all times, so conservatively $60-80k/year cash out of pocket.

Then you have 15 years of at least one kid in college.

This year, Penn provides an estimated all-in cost of on-campus undergrad expenses of over $90k. $76k off-camplus + whatever you figure out for rent.
Total Budget$92,288$91,474$76,076

Go back a few years, so call it $320,000 for the four years for Luigi's post-secondary education.

His sister, MariaSanta, did undergrad at Maryland, then EIGHT years at Vanderbilt (2012-2020) (private and notoriously expensive) getting a PhD (and I believe an MD, as she's supposedly now a physician).

His other sister, Luciana, went the other rich kid route: College of Charleston (private, easy) majoring in international business with a minor in studio art and Italian. Worked in art galleries in Charleston and in Florence (Italy) during school. Possibly lived in an apartment in a chic part of Charleston - her parents bought one for $820,000 in 2014, the year she was graduated. Tried a business career in retail, then quit to become a full-time artist.

You could knock it all way down and they still spent millions.

They clearly also went on vacations, donate money, etc.

They are very cash-rich.

So to have an actual clear picture you would need to know just the insurance arms profit margins
Click to expand...
Optum has higher net margins than UHC.

UHG profit margin in Q3 2024 was 6.0%, down from 6.3% the prior year's Q3. UHC profit margin in Q3 2024 was 5.6%, down 1.0% YOY (Q4 2023 was 4.4%), and Optum's was 7.0%, down 0.4% yoy.

UHC commercial domestic customers number increased 2.4 million ytd at the Q3 results release.

Turns out he wasn’t even a United Healthcare policyholder. And in his hastily assembled r/ChapoTrapHouse manifesto his grievance was with the care he actually did receive.

Further developments: not only was he not a United Healthcare policyholder… his surgery was successful in his own words.

He took shrooms, got brain damaged, and developed the same trailer trash opinions as many kiwis! :story:

Keep in mind given the timeframe of the posts there and his tweeter account being renamed which insinuated he went "nuts" as a result of his back breaking then there is a missing autism shaped puzzle piece.

Someone he spoke to online said that he told them the surgery went badly and he didn't explain any further about it. So the plebbit posts only really state what he thought a month after he had it - there's no indication of what happened after.

So what's missing is what went wrong after the surgery (which would be like 9 months afterwards when we went off the grid).

Maybe cuz boomers and genx grew up with lead gasoline and paint, that shit destroyed IQ across the board and made them more violent too, no way its not giving them more cancer too

Theyre also the first gen to be raised on goyslop, dyes and hyperprocessed shit on boxes, frozen crap made of slaughterhouse waste and flour that was 50% dried mice shit, but everything had grease and sugar so it tasted good

Maybe it seemed to work until it didn't, and then the consequences of the surgery (like limited range of motion if those discs were fused to his pelvis) weren't worth it anymore. But we don't know, if he is the real assassin he hid his powerlevel when it came to committing the act and didn't sperg out about United Healthcare stealing his lumbar vertebrae like the guy whose colectomy gave him uncontrollable acidic diarrhea.

  • One thing that is known is that he was a part of a sort of "commune" in Hawaii and that he developed an interest in psychedelic drugs earlier this year. The guy from the commune that has done a few interviews on TV did the interviews from a place in Mexico that is known to be a hotspot for psychedelic drugs. He was remote working during this time.
  • Exactly what psychedelic drugs or when he may have taken them has no clear answer just yet but there is a lot of speculation online that he may have taken Ayahuasca (which has an earned reputation of sending people totally off the deep end and making them cut contact with friends and family). Ayahuasca IMHO (and perhaps some impact of the surgery) provide the clearest explanation of him cutting off contact with all family/friends and killing the CEO.

The whole young fit dude + psychotic/schizoid break + questionable psychedelics use reminds me of the whole Connor Murphy saga (and he is still spiraling).

I have no idea of how the law works in this regard, but all the talk about jury nullification has me confused.

Say you kill someone, turn yourself in, get arrested. The jury is sympathetic, nullification goes into effect. You walk as a free man.

What then? If you kill again, repeat the process, what happens when someone comes along whose actions are against the agreed upon laws of society but is effectively immune to prosecution? Has there ever been a situation like that in the past?

I assume after a certain point they would quickly hammer out a fix to the jury nullification issue, or leave them languishing in jail to prolong their time in court before letting the jury have their say, utilizing the Patriot Act.

Not exactly but there was a guy who got away with shit over and over and over named Ken Rex McElroy. He would terrorize the town he lived in and always get away with it including shooting at people. Eventually one day he got shot by like 30 people in broad daylight and everyone did the Hogans Heroes routine.

One thing I don't get is why someone would use a gun in an assassination if they aren't crossing their Ts and dotting their eyes when it comes to getting away with it. Just get a car, put a bunch of shit on the floodboard like bottles and maybe fuck with the brakes then ram into the guy you wanna take out. Harder to prove it was intentional. Maybe drink some booze before doing so if you think the brake fuckery won't fly. Bonus points if you have a scorned Ex.
