"Is it too much for one person to tackle in one four-year stint? Honestly, yes. The Deep State bureaucratic behemoth that is the healthcare industry—to include Big Pharma—here in the United States will take generations to tame and reform…"

An action and reaction

[steadyscopemedia]

Federal Indictment Shocker: Luigi Mangione—an Ivy League grad from a wealthy Maryland family—has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The DOJ says he stalked and fatally shot Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December 2024.

Now, he faces murder charges, two counts of stalking, and a firearms offense—making him eligible for the death penalty under Attorney General Pam Bondi’s directive. This marks the first capital case under Trump's reinstated federal executions policy.

Rapacious Health Fund CEO Gunned Down

Only in America, the land of unchecked greed and guns, do you half expect these sort of things. Rapacious health fund CEO gunned down in New York city. The assassin had marked his bullets with the words ‘deny’, ‘defend’ and ‘depose’. These are the insurer’s mantra when refusing payouts to policy holders. Brian Thompson was the CEO of United Healthcare a company on target to make $450 billion revenue this financial year. This is America where healthcare is first and foremost about profitability for investors and executives. I suspect that this way of doing business has made the company plenty of enemies.

Is The Killing Of Healthcare CEO Revenge?

The response on social media to the killing has been less than overly sympathetic to the victim. Americans are, it seems, primed for violence. The US health system is a deeply unfair, expensive, and flawed array of the worst that America has to offer its citizens. “Animosity was expressed from avowed socialists to right-wing activists suspicious of the so-called "deep state" and corporate power. It also came from ordinary people sharing stories about insurance firms denying their claims for medical treatments. Recent Commonwealth Fund research found that 45% of insured working-age adults were charged for something they thought should have been free or covered by insurance, and less than half of those who reported suspected billing errors challenged them. And 17% of respondents said their insurer denied coverage for care that was recommended by their doctor.” (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2eeeep0npo) Everything in America is about making money, over and above, what those sectors are there for. The financialization of healthcare via private equity takeovers of hospitals has seen care rates plummet and consumer costs go way up. People are angry and some of them are armed.

Disgruntled Consumers Are Not Going To Take It Anymore

I have been sounding the alarm about civil unrest for some time now. You cannot keep screwing people and not expect a backlash. The wealth divide in the US is extreme and the same thing is happening in Australia. Neoliberalism and its economic policies have accelerated inequity and inequality around the globe. Rapacious corporate executives and their boards are overseeing the plundering of the middle class. Everything costs more and competition has been removed from the market meaning consumers have no buying power. Governments and their agencies are complicit in this, as they have been bought off with campaign donations and promises of well paid jobs via the revolving door. Medical Profession Disgraced By Purdue Pharma Rapaciousness Violence is not condoned by right thinking individuals but neither is the disconnect between rapacious money making and people’s lives. For profit private enterprise should not be involved in healthcare. The sector is not best served by greedy capitalists. We have seen how the medical profession in America was bought off by Purdue Pharma with lies and incentives to prescribe their deadly addictive pain killers. This has resulted in millions of lives destroyed across America. “April 17, 2024 ­– The U.S. health care system is “totally broken,��� according to Sen. Bernie Sanders. Speaking to members of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health community on April 12, Sanders, an Independent senator from Vermont, explained why the system doesn’t work. “It is a system not designed to provide health care to all people in a cost-effective way,” he said. “It is a system designed to make huge profits for the insurance companies, the drug companies, and many other industries within the system.” “ (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/bernie-sanders-describes-dysfunctional-u-s-health-care-system-and-how-to-fix-it/)  Robert Sudha Hamilton is the author of Bite & Smile – his brand new book which has just been published. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DPM9WS6K ©WordsForWeb https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DPM9WS6K Read the full article

S1E04: Teacher’s Pet

Xander’s obvious dream sequence becomes apparent after he saves Buffy from a vamp, performs a guitar solo, and has every intention of kissing her like she’s never been kissed before. Cueing the catalyst for this episode; male infatuation with the opposite sex.

This infatuation will be the downfall of a few as the new substitute teacher Ms. French takes over from the now headless former science teacher Mr. Gregory. When Xander goes to Ms. French’s house for an “assignment” and doesn’t return the following day, Buffy, Willow, and Giles must save idiotic Xander from his testosterone…… and a giant praying mantis.

While this is a pretty cut and dry episode, the best parts are the interactions between Buffy and Angel, the relationship takes itty bitty steps, but it is fascinating to watch and fills us with potential happiness.

What are the reasons behind the skepticism of Mangione being the primary suspect in the UHC murder? I'm just not following the conspiracy tweets ... ty.

I like how they grayed out #brianthompson 's picture, it's like they're giving us a hit list because all of these people have names and faces displayed and people can be easily found in the information age. Just a thought.

Luigi Mangione has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The United Healthcare boss was fatally shot in the back outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan, New York on 4 December.

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Mr Mangione faces various charges - including first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder - one of which describes the killing as an act of "terrorism".

Mangione, who is scheduled to appear for a court hearing on 19 December, could face life in prison without the possibility of parole if he is convicted on the most serious charges levelled against him.

S1E02: The Harvest

Episode 2 commences and as Luke is going in for the kill, but he places his hand on Buffy’s chest which coincidentally has the cross adorning it from “a friend”. Thus, resulting in a rather simple escape that is the opening 15 seconds of the episode, thankfully even back in TV days, the first two eps aired back-to-back.

Getting to hear Giles explain how vampires came to be is something that is lacking from practically any vamp film/show, which automatically raises this shows excellence and Giles’ bad-ass-ness. Willow shows hers when Cordelia is, well, Cordelia, but Willow still informs her that to save her computer project she needs to press “deliver”, which we all know what the abbreviation of that would be and also what it would actually do. #bestillmynerdheart

The Harvest, as it turns out, is the process to allow The Master to be freed from his subterranean prison, and to stop this, Buffy needs to kill a vampire with what can only be described as the Mercedes logo on his forehead.

As we will come to realise, Buffy gets the job done and stops The Harvest, and the episode concludes with Giles reminding our beloved teens that this will not be the last time that this will happen and that they should be prepared for more to come, in true teenage fashion they wave it off and walk off talking about how their lives could REALLY end, and with that Giles says to himself “the earth is doomed”.

Cue Credits.
