for context NYC offered a $10k reward for any critical information about the homocide which is about the cost of a single 15 minute ambulance ride after UnitedHealthcare denies coverage bc the EMTs responding to the call were out of network
As police hunted for the missing gunman in a fatal “targeted attack” on the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in Manhattan on Wednesday morning, social media erupted with contempt for the health insurance industry he represented—and his company in particular:
Americans Have Little Sympathy for Murdered Health Insurance Exec
Americans expressed virtually no sympathy for the apparently targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO by mystery gunman in New York.

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming.
Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole “our game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.

You are not "too old," you don't "just not get it." Things have stopped being made intuitively by default. You are the victim, you are being gaslit into believing you are deficient when using software made by companies that have failed you.
