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.

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

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.

Why did you misrepresent and twist  her a statement of of context?

What she actually did was to CONDEMN the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Tuesday.

She was asked to comment on the support that was being expressed for the attack and she gave an accurate and honest explanation when she stated that  “Violence is never the answer". She spoke to the bigger picture when she observed that 

”This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.

 

Because of people like you presenting her statement out of context, Senator Warren clarified  the intent  to make it easier for the simple minded to comprehend;   “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.”

too late .   she already spewed her true feelings 

 nice try to walk it back after putting her foot in her mouth

 

at least 1 Dem had to guts to call it right ..

Fetterman criticized those praising Mangione in comments to NBC News’s Sahil Kapur.

 

“He’s the a--hole that’s going to die in prison. Congratulations if you want to celebrate that. A sewer is going to sewer. That’s what social media is about this. And I don’t know why the media wants to turn that into a story, just with these trolls saying these kinds of things anonymously like that,” Fetterman said, according to Kapur.

 

“I don’t know why that’s news. Remember, he has two children that are going to grow up without their father… It’s vile," he added.

It doesn't matter how many times you try to repeat your same lying narrative, she didn't sympathise. She showed contextual understanding, something that I think is missing from your 2 dimensional world.

Oddly no actual sympathizing, just a headline with a quote of the very reasonable observation ‘people can only be pushed so far’.

 

Let us know when you have a statement from Pelosi sympathizing with the killer.
