Within hours of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s death by a gunman in Midtown Manhattan, the major media went full North Korea, lavishing praise on the sainted business leader. The Washington Post reported that the “smart and affable” Thompson had a “focus on keeping premiums low,” citing an unnamed company staffer who we’re to believe “spoke on condition of anonymity to protect their job.”

It is so rediculous the fbi and police were brought out with what appeared to be unlimited funds. Im pretty sure some other folks were shot dead in new york. how much money was spent finding their assailents.

As far as I can tell. Earnest had finally began handing some things off as something or things in his life was not doing well but I have no details. Seems like he had not transfered enough to get by without him or something though as kbin.social gives 500's and I could not find any other kbins that work. mbin is the fork and that is what I moved to. it had been forked actually because he would not let people work on kbin.

Important to remember the race hierarchy is as below

Black < Latino < White < Rich

Wow! So wealth transcends racism?! We've done it boys! 😜

Meanwhile I guess my place in the hierarchy is "None of the above", haha

Asian? It depends on skin color and bank balance.

Arabic... Isn't on the chart.

If those were legitimate murders the body politic has ways of shutting that down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

AFAIK, NY has a little north of 1 murder a day, so, yes, it matters who you are :/
