    How much are these fuckers spending on increased security for themselves rather than addressing why half the country cheered when one of them was murdered in the street?

      It was over half the country. For a brief moment, hateful Nazi racists and the people who gave up power because of Gaza agreed on something.

      …higher-than-expected medical costs…

      This probably means medical costs for employee insurance, not that they’ve been actually providing insurance to policyholders.

        I read that as “we’re denying fewer claims because that was the reason our CEO got shot.

          Yeah, I can’t say for sure. Where I work, the health insurance is ‘self-funded’, so they’re always bitching about medical costs. It just feels like UnitedHealthCare would use different terminology for policy payouts. Like “unforeseen business costs” or some corporate doublespeak like that.

    The company expects to return to growth in 2026, it said on Tuesday.

    Translated:

    “By 2026 the attention will die down and we can return to denying all treatment.”

    Kind of implies they have knowledge Luigi won’t make it to trial…
