Within hours of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s death by a gunman in Midtown Manhattan, the major media went full North Korea, lavishing praise on the sainted business leader. The Washington Post reported that the “smart and affable” Thompson had a “focus on keeping premiums low,” citing an unnamed company staffer who we’re to believe “spoke on condition of anonymity to protect their job.”

News reporting on a black kid getting murdered: “HE WAS NO ANGEL!”
News reporting on a killer getting what was coming to him: “HE WAS SUCH A SWEET KIND MAN WHO DID NO WRONG!”
It is so rediculous the fbi and police were brought out with what appeared to be unlimited funds. Im pretty sure some other folks were shot dead in new york. how much money was spent finding their assailents.
Might have been a different story if the murdered kids were white.
I doubt it even then with the all important ceo that all resources must be used for.
Just… why?
I liked the guys about and faq so I made my account here after kbin imploded (still owrry about elmer). His explanation was its comedically unmarketable in the faq.
kbin died?
As far as I can tell. Earnest had finally began handing some things off as something or things in his life was not doing well but I have no details. Seems like he had not transfered enough to get by without him or something though as kbin.social gives 500’s and I could not find any other kbins that work. mbin is the fork and that is what I moved to. it had been forked actually because he would not let people work on kbin.
Important to remember the race hierarchy is as below
Black < Latino < White < Rich
Meanwhile I guess my place in the hierarchy is “None of the above”, haha
Asian? It depends on skin color and bank balance.
Arabic… Isn’t on the chart.
If those were legitimate murders the body politic has ways of shutting that down.
AFAIK, NY has a little north of 1 murder a day, so, yes, it matters who you are :/
Premiums low, denials high
they aren’t doing this to convince us, the proles. they’re doing it for their corporate masters. it’s a sign to them that they will cower and comply in advance to make sure that we, the not wealthy, won’t be given any more
ammunitionreasons to start going after any more of them.it’s not going to work, the corporate media not only ripped any credibility they had during the last 16 years, they decided to go for broke and nuked it in the last 3 months. does anyone really believe anything anyone associated with a major media outlet has to say about anything related to people who are at least millionaires?
I just don’t believe anything the media says whatsoever. If anybody in the media opens their mouth, it’s likely a lie.
Thompson had a “focus on keeping premiums low,”
Lol premiums are literally their entire source of revenue. The CEO of an enormous publicly-traded company had a focus on keeping revenue as low as possible? If this were actually true, the people most likely to have killed him would be everybody on the board and everybody else in the c-suite.
That’s not true. They gain revenue by fucking over many parties in many ways beyond just premiums
Exactly. The more claims you can deny the lower you can make premiums appear because you’re not actually paying out.
Of course they did - the MSM is the public relations arm of the ruling class, and a significant part of their job is ensuring that the peasants don’t revolt.
I saw one quote praising his “deep sense of empathy” and claiming he had a “clear passion for improving access to care” …lol. I took a screenshot because of just how absurd that is. I mean, I expected plenty empty talk about what a great guy he is, but COME ON. At least try to make it sound grounded in reality.
