SAIF is a state run public corporation directed by a board appointed by the governor to operate a needed service for the benefit of the public. Its structure is similar to Amtrak. This is not a good target at all for anti for profit healthcare protest. (Even if the CEO is still paid too much)
The article mentioned that SAIF is a non profit health insurance company where the executives are reasonably paid and don't have massive security teams
Could just be an accident right? Theres so many guns in the US and also the cops shoot and miss all the time.
UK cautions its travelers to the US to avoid walking around alone at night, and almost every country warns travelers that the US is a more violence-prone place and full of firearms than they are used to.
One, don't be a moron and send threatening emails before the job is done, that just puts people on alert and makes it more likely you get caught, especially considering traceability of email.
Two, don't fire blindly into a house you colossal moron, you can probably find a hiding spot good enough to wait until your target comes outside so you can get a clear shot.
Three, don't pull out the gun until you've got a confirmed target, and don't pull the trigger unless you're goddamn sure you got a killing shot, on the right target. Remember one of the things everyone likes about Luigi is that he was successful, and the other thing everyone likes is he didn't hurt anyone.
And four, if successful, once you get out of the immediate area, make sure not to be carrying around any goddamn incriminating evidence.
The next CEO will probably be worse, unfortunately. Almost like medical profiteering draws in some of society's worst people with a penchant for hoarding wealth.
Luigi went from epic mastermind assassin to getting busted in a shitty fast food place with tons of incriminating evidence on his person. This bullshit needs a "epstein didn't kill himself" level meme
Also, while the state and federal government claim otherwise, they carry the burden of proof and Luigi Mangione currently claims innocence. So, unless you are also accusing him, you should add some qualifier to "[Luigi] was successful".
This presumes I would consider the creature that was killed as 'someone'.
And sure, legally he has to claim that. But unless all the evidence they found on him was planted, which I think is a bit too much of a stretch (not because I don't think they would do it, but because I think it would be too likely to come out that it was planted), then in any situation where my comments do not cause legal jeopardy I don't have an issue talking about him doing it as though it were fact.
The reality is that Lugi was one in a billion: smart enough to plan and execute something like this, but also had the motivation (due to health problems and personal reasons) to actually do it.
Most people who grab a gun to solve problems are unfortunately just lunatics, we just got lucky with Luigi.
I can't tell if they posted his income to say he is paid too much or too little... It's a weird thing to include, it didn't seem to fit the article at all.
Poor guy getting shot at and doesn't even make a million a year. Absolute tragedy.
They mention a yearly bonus of around $200k in addition to his $550k/yr salary, but he may very well receive additional bonuses for meeting sales quotas or god knows what else. Not to mention stock options, which are given to every executive as a kind of tax-free additional salary.
Maybe almost human shaped, I'd say the arms are curiously long for a regular human and the torso is much bulkier than our's, but I am no expert on human or bigfoot anatomy.
Yeah, kinda slow around here. Wishing for warmer weather, and Spring. I did plant some cilantro and broccoli in cold frames, just to keep myself amused. Anything fun up in your neighborhood?
Line must go up! That's what I learned from shareholders. But what line, you ask? Any line. Shareholders don't care what the line shows, as long as it goes up. Can't have less children killed in school shooting than last year, that's just bad business.
I'll have you know, Bigfeet as they're called are quite prevalent in Oregon and Northern California. I think they'll have more luck checking the forests than to ask any one of us for help.
Well, the provided image of the suspect is going to be unhelpful to their investigation. I've seen less blurry shots of sasquatch. Why did they even bother releasing it?
Actually, now that I think on it maybe the shooter was some sort of cryptid...
They aren't the type to deny coverage of a patient, because if it's related to an accident or injury that happened on the job, they're the ones who are going to look into it. And probably increase the employers fees, and probably sue them for not providing adequate training or safety gear and signing a contract with them.
It's not the same as healthcare. It's more liability insurance. I'd bet this isn't over being denied coverage, but something else entirely.
Not sure how I feel about this. The CEO doesn't make the kind of compensation other CEOs of problem companies make. He does make a lot more than a lot of doctors that aren't top tier brain surgeons. So I'm sort of on the side of "well, maybe people who don't actually have a real job shouldn't get paid more than doctors."
Yeah, this doesn't seem as clean cut as the Mangione case... not sure what to think about it yet; I'd be curious to find out what the guys motives were.
Only if the company doesn’t contest it. It’s possible someone was injured on the job but the company didn’t want their insurance rates to go up, so they argued against it.
