Brian already did, quoting you directly.

 

You do know how to quote don’t you?

 

Here’s how to do it “this is a quote” it sits within parentheses, often helpfully referred to as quotation marks.

 

Since you make much of honesty and honest debate, I take it you agree we can only understand your posts on the basis of the words you yourself post and the structure of the sentences you post them in.

Off topic nonsense. I quoted the headline and 3 sentences as per forum rules. What a lame diversion for your failure to go to the link where you would have found it

A little more grist for the mill...

 

A federal lawsuit filed in May by the City of Hollywood Firefighter's Pension Fund alleges months before learning of a U.S. Department of Justice's 2022 antitrust investigation about its acquisition of Change Healthcare, Thompson "sold over $15 million of his personally held UnitedHealth shares." The suit also alleged UnitedHealth Group Inc. Chairman Stephen Hemsley "sold over $102 million" of his shares. After news of the DOJ investigation went public that year, the stock price tanked, "erasing nearly $25 billion in shareholder value," according to the filing.

 

So, the guy's already making $10M a year, about what 200 of his $50K employees or customers make, combined.  But that's not enough for him.  He's gotta do some insider trades that (the suit alleges) tanked the stock value by $25B.  That's what half a million $50K employees make in an entire year.  People that are depending on their 401K investments for their retirement.  Erasing the equivalent of what 12,000 people make in their 40 year careers, assuming $50K for round numbers.

 

While I don't condone violence, if there was such a thing as karma, it would have been a bolt of lightning on a clear day instead of a crazed Ivy Leaguer.

 

The article sheds a lot more light on the whole of the fustercluck that is health insurance, and this guy's company in particular.

No you didn’t quote Brian, quotations are presented in quotation marks.

 

You do very often correctly structure quotes within your posts, and we can only understand what you have posted on the basis of what you have written and how it is structured.

 

Clearly Warren does not ‘sympathize’ with the killer.

 

Understanding ‘people can only be pushed too far’ is not sympathizing, it’s a factual observation.

More off topic nonsense and diversion from your failure to head to the link when I told you...jeez

 

 Only post a link, the headline and three sentences from the article. Content in the public domain is limited to the same restrictions.

As I said earlier, Thompson was no honest Joe good guy.

 

And make a note of the importance here of ‘Anti-Trust’ law it plays an essential role in protecting consumers and the wider public against corporate malfeasance.

So he killed somebody for the heck of it?!

 

Quote

“We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America. So that’s possibly why he targeted that company,” - NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny

Not the first person to arm themselves travel to another State and then go gun down someone who hasn’t committed any crime against themselves personally.

 

Heroes have in the past been made of such killers.

I've been trying desperately to find that button for blocking or ignoring someone like you, and unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find it. It doesn't seem to appear anywhere anymore, and that is truly tragic.

So in demented leftist mind the murder was a hero.

 

Leftists are pathetic.

I’m not sure how you draw that conclusion from my post you responded to.

 

I have yet to see any evidence that this killer was regarded a hero solely by people on the left of the political spectrum, let alone that the killer himself was motivated by any left wing views.

I knew you weren’t that smart.

I get it.  You love dishing out insults and criticism.

 

When someone gives it back you fold.

 

Weak.

 

Ask your fellow leftists.  They have more experience in ignoring.

Those turning this man into a cultural icon are not "woke." "Woke" means "visionary," someone who has "...strong, original ideas about how things might be different in the future, especially about how things might be improved." VISIONARY definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary

No, Visionary means Visonary, more woke nonsense Your attempt to redefine what woke means is a huge fail.
