…not condoning the violence. Just pointing out that it’s not surprising that violence appeared when the stories say corporate profits are up yet the economy was a crucial voting concern. If you’re the guy at the top of a huge healthcare organization and healthcare is expensive, then desperate people are probably going to look in your direction with ill will.

Also, you know, the (alleged) financial criming.

"In May, a firefighters’ pension fund in Hollywood, Florida, sued United HealthGroup, Thompson, Witty and Executive Chairman Stephen Hemsley. The suit accused the executives of selling a combined $120 million in company shares before a U.S. Department of Justice antitrust investigation was disclosed publicly.

The DOJ’s probe was related to UnitedHealth Group’s 2021 acquisition of Change Healthcare, which processes medical claims.

The lawsuit claimed Thompson knew about the investigation as early as October 2023 and sold shares worth $15.1 million on Feb. 16, less than two weeks before news of the probe went public, according to the complaint."

I can't believe none of us have made an "Incredible Violence Man" joke yet. :(


And by "wake up call" they mean "hiring private security for executives and passing the cost onto the consumer".
Well a rich white guy got killed. What do you want?
