  • Bullets used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO had words written on them, law enforcement official says

  • Sure, he was in the upswing of his career making $20m a year since 2021. Also being investigated for fraud/insider trading for selling $15m of stocks before results of a federal antitrust investigation became public. Sounds swell.

  • Decisions that led to his company having the worst denial rate nationwide and the decision to wholly adopt an AI system that is known to have a 90% error rate to achieve it. Overflowing profits and bonuses sank right in to his pockets for his business acumen, and the key thing you do to earn that CEO payday is sign off on everything and be culpable when the shit hits the fan.

  • A shame. Wealth taxes for the ultra rich it is, a la Bernie, innovation in all things. Having benefited from friendly, lucrative taxation over the course of a generation has left beyond the reach of current legislation. Tax legislation specifically and solely aimed at the ultra rich, no one would bat an eye.

    In most cases? In most cases billionaires and conglomerates have monopolised entire industries, many across multiple industries that can no longer sustain any meaningful competition and growth. A company like Amazon/Google/Meta just replacing all industry with its own brand, squeezing out, gatekeeping or catch & killing any disruptors or smaller ventures is not a net positive for society. That's how you get to a handful of medical insurers dictating whether you live or die.

  • You're right. Their obscene, disgusting levels of wealth and excess should be taxed the shit out by the societies they inhabit. It's inefficient to just let them pick and choose their own fancies and unironically call themselves altruists.

    They are not monarchs.

  • The case raises questions about executive security

    Thankfully it doesn't raise any questions about the place of billionaire CEOs of companies making life and death decisions for the general populace for the sake of their overflowing pocket book. Boy would that be awkward.

  • Steam discussion forums on every game are a complete dumpster fire. Someone needs to do better, whether it is Steam themselves or moderators.

  • San Francisco tech company Forward, once worth $1B, abruptly shuts down

  • Well, all the initial venture capitalists involved already "got theirs" so there's no reason for it to exist anymore. This isn't a failure, this is the operating model of your average SF tech start up.
