UHC Shooter Update: He is an Ivy League Tech Bro with Chronic Back Pain

The serious back injury would explain the hard turn his life made.

Also, if you really want to hate the insurance companies, it's easy: get surgery in America. I thought his rage was from a friend who wasnt rich enough for cancer treatments; here it's a bad skiing accident and the years of bill negotiation that pushed him over the edge.

But that could be me in the same situation. I have a back injury that is never going to improve, but its progress is slowed by proper care and lots of help. A bad turn if I was American and even my good tech job wouldn't be enough. At-will state and I'm laid-off like that, no job means no coverage, no coverage means I sell my everything for anything. Ich bin copaybacker.

Human interaction is important. One of the problems with capitalism is the commodification of that human interaction (or what that human interaction used to provide for free). Really only the last point diverges, but it is somewhat related in that a shared set of activities can bring forth positive human interactions (e.g. progressive movements have come up or gained momentum from church gatherings, see the civil rights movement in the US).

He's spitting facts though

...and placed at your feet?

What client are you using, that sounds surreal.

I worked in Tech Startups, not in the Valley but in London UK, and the Tech Bros aren't the Techies, they're the Founders and nowadays (unlike back in the 90s when I also was in the Industry) Founders are generally not Techies but rather people from a salesmanship-heavy background (so Finance types, Marketing types and so on).

Blaming Techies for the shit from Tech Bros is just profound ignorance, since the mindset that make a person good at coding (such as attention to detail and favoring precisision and clarity) are the very opposite of the Tech Bro behaviour (promising the impossible, weaving fantastic stories about Tech and making broad and vague claims about how Society works and what Tech can do).

Yeah! Like, no doubt there is at least something else relatable about him.

I worked in tech for decades. We’re not all ‘tech bros’, bro. Most people I worked with are entirely normal.

He's relatable because, aside from going to fancy schools, his life experiences are very similar to mine.

I taught school in a correctional facility for youth. I was the first person on either side of my family to get a college degree. I was given chicken bouillon as a kid when I was hungry and we didn't have food and wore hand me downs.

So no. Fuck off with your assumptions.

Anecdotal, but I know someone who has back problems and goes to a back quacker once a week and it does help him.

Would I go to one? Probably not, I would rather have someone walk on my back to pop those hard to crack spots, like the upper back, instead of risk internal decapitation because some jackass got a certificate online.

Finally someone making sense in comments

Starting lifting weights fixed all my back issues. I didn't have anything major going on and if you do you should definitely see a professional but if you're just having aches and pains it could be that you just need to work your body more.

don't forget the homeopathy bullshit

That explains the character in Jacob's ladder

When I was in America for a few years, what made me leave was the realization that a bad car accident would ruin me financially instead of in my home country where I got an arm cast before they knew my health number.

So I went home. Fuck that.

Seriously. Dude is traumatized by what happened to his mother.

It rings true to me and I have not seen it debunked.

Just because he had something written on his person doesn't mean he wouldn't post more elsewhere. He scheduled Youtube videos to come out, too.

There were rumours being spread that he's insane.
It all seems very logical to me.
