We had some very inappropriate postings in that thread and decided it needed to go.

CBL again?  lol

I think it was the thread about transfers f’ing off or something similar. Wasn’t the worst thing said on GMG but a pretty tacky thread. And I know tacky.

Possibly since he changed his avatar in support of a murderer.

I stand corrected. That crappy thread still lives.

I prefer "alleged revolutionary".

but don't worry...the picture is gone and replaced by something that could never ever potentially murder anybody.

Can't believe he murdered that boy scout. That CEO was on his way to save a bunch of children from a burning skyscraper too...

Not "alleged" anymore; they matched his gun to the shell casings.

are you still so under-developed that you think referring to men as women is insulting?

I not sure about sisters, but they are both cut from the same cloth. @Censored by Laurie supports a young man that decided to take the law into his own hands by murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood thus throwing his support behind murder as an option for dealing with those he disagrees with  

Funny how we know more about this assassin in 48 hours than we know about the kid that tried to assassinate a nominee for president five months ago.  Let that sink in and question why the media only does their job half the time  

He and @Coffee and TV will throw out smart ass quips at those they disagree with. It’s how they operate. 
 

Speaking of “bye bye topic”, this one will be locked and gone shortly.

true. gotta be quick here. 

in truth, I'd say it's less "support" than it is empathy and understanding. I don't support killing anyone...be it a CEO, a President, a guy caught trying to pass a counterfeit $20, a guy selling loose cigarettes, a guy legally driving with a CHL, a mentally ill man on the subway, a woman just sleeping in her bed, or the tens of thousands killed by government supported genocides. 

I've just found it fascinating how even before we knew the shooter we knew the motive. and many have shared my reaction. I think this trial is gonna be fascinating. good luck finding 12 people all ready to convict.

Obamacare was only a bandaid to the deep capitalist rot that has invaded health care and short of medicare for all in the next 10 years which is fully a pipe dream, you're only gonna see a lot more of this. The man is responsible for maiming and killing thousands of people who paid for and relied on his service, only for his company to be able to legally deny them, or force them into giving up after a long battle. People dying of cancer and families who can't get their kids treatment for seizures because of the arcane system that these rich assholes keep in place so they can buy another yacht. He legally got to choose who lives in dies so that his stock will always increase in price, setup an AI program to determine who was eligible for claims, and I'm supposed to be bothered that he got killed?

Healthcare is broken and has been for years.  Obama did some good things like getting rid of pre-existing conditions but he did that by protecting the pharmaceutical industries.  In turn, he allowed the insurance companies to morp into drug companies and here we are.  It is a tragedy for most families to have to pay $30K a year for barely catastrophic coverage.  I am sorry the UHC guy dies but his death has sparked a backlash against the profit driven insurance companies and politicians who cater to their lobbies.

In before the lock! Fascists!!

In before lock!

First off, I will not excuse the Healthcare companies and foul practices, but It's also not a black and white issue either. I work in healthcare finance, so I see a lot of the behind the scenes stuff.

#1 issue is that all government paid healthcare (Medicare packages, medicaid, VA, etc...) usually pay below the cost of care. If we went with those numbers, we couldn't even afford to operate, so are forced to charge private healthcare (UHC, Blueshield, etc...) higher amounts just to stay afloat. If we didn't, you wouldn't be getting your treatments. That's the very horrible ballgame we are playing right now.

Private healthcare has a right to profit, it (should) enable growth, support, and eventually lower cost to customers. That's where they failed. They pocketed the cash and didn't give back. Same as price gouging in stores since covid. They won't lower them now that its lining their pockets.

Whole economy is f*cked at the moment, turning into an oligarchy. Glad to see we have a bunch of wealthy people soon the be running the country and certainly looking out for the little guys... /s
