    I thought about it more. A citibike is pretty clever. Who rides a proper bike in nyc except doordash or enthusiasts. Door dashers are all Mexican and enthusiasts wear the full cyclist gear. Hipsters use fixed gear bikes but they don’t hang around Central Park. Normal people in jeans use citibikes.

    (maybe this whole thing was a guerrila marketing campaign for Citibank).

  2. The news is that, in a country where anybody can get a gun, it took so long for someone to shoot one of these so called CEOs that make a business out of healthcare.

    It shows that Americans are actually good people, because in any other place that person would have been killed years ago.

    Now wait for people to understand that they can kill people that harm them, you are going to see a few CEOs in the US following the same route. And it is normal, if you play with basic services and people get harmed it is just a matter of time that people get killed.

    If people start getting rid of those greedy fuckers that play with health care services we might see rules regulating guns. So two birds killed with one stone. A win win.

    This could literally be anything, not just someone denied coverage.

    Could be the wife set it up. Maybe he was having an affair and it's related to that somehow. Could be lots and lots of other possibilities.

    While the shooter seemed comfortable with firearms and carrying out the task, there are far more professional and discrete ways that true professionals do this sort of thing. When Russia wants someone dead, they keel over after a meal from being poisoned. There are literally millions of people in the US proficient with firearms and basic tactics.

    lol. Used a CC to rent it? Service provider data from his phone via multilateration. They can probably isolate it even w/o the citibike app. Ofc he probably paid cash for a burner but would have used a CC for the rental. The guy was inept with the weapon so unlikely he used a stolen CC.

    LOL No matter what life you choose, your life is hard. That is a given. Rich people have rich people problems. Poor people have poor people problems. Neither life is easier; they are just different. CEO is a challenging job to master for sure but being a hot dog stand owner has its own unique challenges as well and one is not going to be necessarily happier managing a hot dog stand unless one absolutely loves doing it.

    The problem with rich people or CEO or whatever is because they THINK they are all better than the rest just because they have more money and have higher positions telling people what to do. The way to have a positive and fulfilled life is to have the mentality of being grounded and never be full of oneself and think you are above the rest just because you are whatever whatever or you have whatever whatever. This is the mentality that you need to have no matter what kind of life that you have, even if you have nothing.

    Many CEO's lives are not troubled true but a majority and I would say a large majority of CEO's lives are not. They have a successful career, a loving and supportive family, good health and even longevity, give back to society, champion many social causes and make true difference in the world.

    Warren Buffett

    Mark Zuckerberg

    Sundar Pichai

    Tim Cook

    Joaquin Duato

    Jensen Huang

    Lisa Su

    Mary Barra

    Charles Munger

    Lee Iacocca

    Doug McMillon

    Safra Catz

    ...

    The list goes on and is much longer than the troubled CEO and ironically these CEO's are far far richer by several hundred times over than the CEO who was gunned down. So your theory that rich people would always have troubled lives just because their lives might have complicated challenges is just simply not true. Everything depends on how you handle everything.

    Yes, assuming the gunman himself or is hired by an aggrieved policyholder or ex-policyholder of UnitedHealth. As of right now, we don't know the identity of the gunman yet.

    Nobody orders hits on extra-marital affairs anymore especially now everything can be negotiated and unless it was an extremely difficult marriage, even termination of marriage can be amicable. So the wife ranks a bit low on my list of possible suspects.

    The police are now investigating apparent messages found on bullet casings at the scene of the shooting, according to two law enforcement officials. Ballistics testing is continuing, the official said, but the casings appear to have been inscribed with words including “delay” and “deny” — potentially references to ways that health insurance companies seek to avoid paying patients’ claims.

    Okay, see, you're saying what a lot of people are thinking but they are not comfortable saying it out loud:

    Guy was a scumbag and he had it coming.
