"Deny, Defend, Depose" is what was "officially" shared, but it's earily similar to the title of a book 'Deny, Delay, Defend' referring to the insurance company policies to avoid making claim payouts.
In any case, the effect is the same.

"it's being framed as some opening blow in a broader class war"
I mean the guy did hit the nail on the head. The elite have done so much for so long to keep the masses divided to prevent a class war. The sane thing would be for private companies, especially the healthcare insurance industry, to immediately change their policies before it gets worse.
The pressure has been rising for a long time, and something gave a few days ago. Cats already out of the bag.
If it was ethical to do, this would be a great way to diagnose it.
I was on methylphenidate for a long time since I was a kid, and it was getting a lot tougher to do stuff. Doc switch me to amphetamine. First time I took it was exactly like I remembered how the world worked, and I didn't need to process and react to everything. I was chill. Complete. In the moment. My imagination had been reigned in. My emotions were under my control.
But how fucking awful to get that experience when people are dying around you from things traveling faster than you can hear them
Well, considering that Americans have to pay for health insurance in one way shape or form, and it likely comes out of their paycheck every month if they get benefits, no. It's not.
Because we all have to pay an ass load of what we worked for for something we don't necessarily need at the moment, but when we do, we'd really fucking like to.
In 2012 the total bill a relative got for their heart attack (or maybe stroke, I can't remember it was bad) was $2m. Had they not had insurance that covered it, that's how much debt they'd be in. In 2012. Fast forward to now. Yeah, a lot of insurance covers stuff like that. But a lot of people only have the insurance that covers absolutely the bare minimum.
Which is how you end up with people having poor health, subsequent heart attacks, or strokes, etc. Preventative medicine would keep those far rarer than they currently are.
So, no. $50k isn't a lot. Its an insult. It's an insult to the $20k/year people pay for something they can't use. Instead that $20k/year could go to a universal health system where you don't wait until you end up in the ER to get medical care. It's an insult to the people who are saddled in medical debt by denied claims. Its an insult to doctors who give the care a patient needs. It's an insult to the healthy people who understand they aren't invulnerable.
Man just a few days ago I was surprised to hear that the Syrian war was still going on
I can't keep up with it all
To be fair
He did get the steam deck made, so that was kinda cool.
But maybe owning 6 yachts is a little less cool.
Unless the sub and boats were like research vessels he funds, that would be cool
But they aren't.
Why can't billionaires dump their money into funding scientific research? It's not like there aren't scientists out there with plenty of research to be done.
Or even maybe wherever he lives, he could like, fund the entire county school districts for the rest of existence and no one would have to worry about taxes.
Or maybe regularly cancel the medical debt of Valve employees and their families.
Like how fucking hard is it to redistribute your own wealth?
Like fucking Christ, that's the part I don't understand. They complain about taxes and shit at the top, but they do absolutely fuck all to make things better for large swaths of people. Or if they do, it's after they die and $200m gets donated to a university and it prevents next year's tuition from increasing.
I didn't buy DA: The Veilguard because DA 3 was pretty meh. Better than 2, but DA:O was hands down one of the best games I've played. To be honest, I hadn't even heard the woke complaint about it until now.
Avowed, on the other hand, I know nothing about, other than it's existence. Since it was made by obsidian, my interest is increased. Now they've gotten mad about pronouns, and I'm going to watch some stuff on it on purpose.
It was preventable. Entirely. By not having an algorithm deny 90% of health claims. By not denying people the right to health. By not profiting off of literally taking money from people to sometimes pay for sick people.
But no, actually, the problem is he didn't have personal security /s.
Nope lol
Like you said, it's hard to not be on security cameras, and they only shared the video of the attack that had a couple of frames of the upper half of his face. So they are looking for someone with the upper half of their face.
To me it seems like a really dumb idea for the police or news to share that the bullets had "Deny, Defend, Depose" engraved on them. You can't tell me that they wouldn't have known that it would energize everyone like that.
I have to appreciate the skepticism, and of course it could have been a hired hit, or schizo ramblings. But there were other people who were in the area, and I bet they "didn't see anything."
I highly doubt the schizo thing though. Psychosis won't allow someone to be this careful.
The problem with the hitman theory is that it painted a target on all of these executives and board members. Including whoever could have hired the hit. Hell, it could have been a Russian assassin brought in by Trump to stir things up, and it backfired. If that ended up being the case, Trump would then face a lot of opposition from the elite.
To me, it really comes down to the fact that the motive isn't what is important. What's important is that so many millions of people have a motive, and now witnessed vulnerability in the elite that hurt them and killed family or friends.
That
Explains a lot
