  • Israeli politicians and pundits call for violence and genocide against defenseless civilians in Gaza and nobody bats an eye but one member of a tier of people that make enough money to hire their own private army gets capped, and everyone loses their mind.

    If your job requires you to ruin people’s lives or cause their untimely death, it is reasonable to assume that you would need private security. I hate to victim blame (not really) but it seems to me that it was UHC CEO’s own fault that he got taken out by an amateur. I’d say do better next time but…








  • True story: In 2018 I was pretty sure I was or was about to have a heart attack and possibly a stroke. I drove to the ER rather than call an ambulance. As soon as they checked my vitals, they prepped me for emergency surgery. As I was in the O.R. my wife was listing our second home (he one we wanted to retire in) for sale because she was certain that the medical expenses would bankrupt us. Everything worked out well, but the fact that while I might be breathing my last breaths all I am worried about is leaving my wife in financial ruin is not something I can let go of.

    Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
