From the article:

Witty added that Thompson was "never content with the status quo" and praised the CEO for advocating for ideas that "were aimed at making health care more affordable, more transparent, more intuitive, more compassionate — and more human."

This is a complete lie

UHC. Leader in denials under Thompson

United Health, under the leadership of this genius, is responsible for thousands of deaths, a massive data breach, and all around predatory business practices

That is correct. They might work, but in context they are not “working people”

Here “working people” is synonymous with “working class”. Thus, not landlords and shareholders obviously

Failry old news. The Wired article is long and offers nothing but verbiose language and opinion.

The Skinny:

Barbossa is a Brazilian immigrant who along with another Brazilian and a group of 17 other people, used stolen identity data to create fake Uber and Door Dash driver accounts to defraud these companies. They would sell or rent these accounts to unqualified drivers. The scheme netted them about 791,000USD. Barbossa got 3 years in prison, three years probation, and a 20,000 dollar fine.

What I will now say is going to be useless, but I will say it anyways

Until we all stop buying the latest gadget from predatory, abusive companies that steal and sell our data, try to lock us into their “ecosystem”, force advertisements on platforms that we are paying for, this crap will never stop.

It’s easy to punish Samsung. Don’t buy their products

France, doing the right thing

Producers always tout and advertise when they put more into the package, but fail to let us know when they reduce the contents

This is common sense

There are corrupt traitors and liars in the SCOTUS. Insurrectionist sympathizers doesn’t seem like a stretch

I mean Justices Thomas and Alito would sell their first born for a jet ride to an island resort

I feel like the entire world has forgotten the lessons of WW2. Even the most affected groups are following policies that history shows us carry enormous consequences.

The fact that a barely articulate strong man is able to get so far just by ranting incoherencies at the camera is appalling. More appalling is the fact that the “other side” can only muster an old decrepit man to face this danger
