Summary
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.
The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”
Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.
Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.
These hospitals all crumbled and failed because they were no longer profitable, which is not a problem that exists in a socialist run country.
Where would the socialist money come from to maintain the hospital? Local tax payers? The State? The Fed? I can tell you the region these hospitals are crumbling in are themselves crumbling. The people who haven’t left are poor and have no taxes to help.

Billionaires have all the money that will ever be needed to fix this problem forever. Your friend (who is 100% part of the problem) included. I want to take their wealth back and invest it in the people, like any functional society worth a damn would do.
I have other friends in sports. Tell me how all the hundreds of millions and billions they’ve made is exploitive.
first off its not my job to analyze every specific thief. But since I have nothing else to do right now: do you think sport stadiums and sport organizations are just like immutable laws of nature? They’re just always there? No, there are legions of people who work to make these events happen, and the athletes steal basically all the money. For crying out loud, the Qatar world cup stadium was built using literal slave labor. All those morally corrupt athletes still played there.
You have
thiefbillionaire athlete friends (a claim I am dubious of). Well, I have friends who work in the sports industry who are 50 and can’t afford to move out of their parents basement. They are employed full-time and work at least three jobs.Ok. Well I can’t understand how you think an athlete is stealing money they’ve signed a contract to receive. Do you think you’re stealing money at your job? Is your 50 year old friend stealing money? At what point are you not stealing money? Who decides what’s theft or what’s not?
You could pay my friend a livable wage so he could live in his own property for the first time in his life or you could keep the money for yourself. You are entirely dependent on him doing his job for you to earn anything, and you choose to keep the money for yourself. And you truly don’t see how keeping all the money for yourself is stealing his wages? Oh and also there are hundreds of thousands of people in my friends situation, but there’s only like 500 of you.
Do you have any idea how an economy actually works? Money doesn’t build buildings. It doesn’t treat sick patients. It doesn’t conduct medical research. People and their labor do all of that.
Ok. I guess you can work for free.
Yeah and then you won’t be able to pay for housing built by other working class people and food grown by other working class people. Wait that’s weird. I can’t seem to find the billionaires in that equation. It’s almost like the needs of working class people could be met by… other working class people.
Sure is neat how .ml is full of tankies.
