If a person is shot in a rural area, and there’s no one to hear it besides the victim and perpetrator, did it happen? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

13 of the top 20 counties in the US for gun homicide per capita are rural. Including the top 2. Additionally, the overall gun death rate for rural vs urban areas is significantly higher on a per capita basis. Man, if only someone would do something about those small towns and their do-nothing mayors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thompson is the one who approved many of the profit-driven changes in how they bill, approve and reject claims overall. He was the CEO of the company. That's what he does. According to Fox News, via a conservative military/international affairs IG page I frequent (where this dude is getting torn apart): Their denial rate went from 10.9% in 2020 to 22.7% in 2022 to over 30% in 2024. Their profits have also skyrocketed during that timeframe. https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-murder-live-updates-12-07-2024 Someone edited the Wikipedia page about him to include this graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Thompson_(businessman)#/media/File:Claim_denial_rates_by_insurance_company.webp

Also, I'd like to point out that this event appears to have promoted positive changes for Americans who are insured by BCBS and required anesthesia for upcoming surgeries. See? This guy is a martyr already. /s People often say that governments should fear their constituents. Perhaps the same should be said of corporations that feed off of those same people.

Not at all. Why would it?

Well, I'm not expressing support for killing the man. But I also understand those who have very limited sympathy for him. Also, you appear to sanction vigilante justice in the second sentence below, but seem to think that I'm pulling stuff out of thin air. And, Republicans are far, far more supportive of the state-sanctioned judicial homicide than Democrats; I'm not sure why you would say that I don't believe that. Every survey conducted in the last 40 years would bear that out. Here's the first one I found on Gallup: https://news.gallup.com/poll/653429/drop-death-penalty-support-led-younger-generations.aspx While it might not meet the legal definition of a crime (murder, manslaughter, etc.) there is an exceptional level of moral failure in a society where a person makes millions of dollars a year by intentionally denying healthcare benefits to others. Similarly, there is an exceptional level of moral failure in a society where billionaires are celebrated for their greed and millions of people are hungry.

I thought Republicans were all about an eye for an eye? I mean, they overwhelmingly support the death penalty. And vigilante justice, too. If you intentionally deny life saving care to someone because you deem it too costly, and it would eat into your quarterly earnings, are you any better than a murderer? You’ve made a choice, and it resulted in a person or people dying. You didn’t pull the trigger but you ordered someone’s death. Or, are rich people simply held to a different standard? It’s OK when they do it, because it’s a business decision? It’s interesting how many Republicans talk about “the elites” and how having them running things is bad, but then jump to defend them at all costs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe multiple posters here have cited it in a more positive light. “If those kids could read, they’d be very upset.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And then what? They legally have no business asking that question during a traffic stop or similar minor infraction. No one in their right mind would answer the question at all. First person wrongfully detained sues the department(s) into oblivion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If we had jail sentences for employers who hired illegal immigrants, there wouldn’t be a problem. But, many industries (and donors) rely on cheap labor. But, because the people who hire these illegal immigrants are often political donors, that would never happen. (Of course, if this happened, we’d then see labor laws relaxed and child labor laws go away. In many states, they’re already weakening or killing those laws off.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other news, sounds like Pete Hegseth (who has the unit crest of a unit he never served in tattooed to his arm, got booted from two veterans charities (for sexual harassment of female employees, being drunk on the job and embezzling money meant for vet outreach), and doesn’t have a tab) is about to get replaced by…Desantis.

Trump was impeached for pressuring the president of another country to provide dirt on a political opponent, and threatening to withhold congressionally mandated aid to that country if he didn’t. Joe Biden pardoned Hunter for many things, among them shady business deals. Hunter Biden was never the president of the US and could not withhold aid, nor did he have any political opponents, as he has not run for and won political office. Also, one is a legal authority for the president, the other is a political authority granted to the House. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get that, too. I should clarify: I was speaking tongue in cheek and don’t want anyone to get hit on the slopes. That said, there are entire resorts that I avoid because of very large numbers of people resting on the runs. Breckenridge, much of Vail, Winter Park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
