South Korea's president has declared martial law, only for the parliament to vote it out, but the military is apparently holding to the declaration until the president says otherwise. The president says he will comply with the vote.

UnitedHealthCare CEO was assassinated yesterday exiting his invester conference at a hotel, the gunman was laying in wait and shot him dead on the street with a silenced pistol. The only thing i'm surprised at is how this doesn't happen more often to people like him.
I read an article earlier in the year where UnitedHealthCare put an algorithm bot in charge of claims, where it promptly rejects 90% of claims now put in, Karmas a real bitch eh?
Thank you for your recent claim: it doesn't appear that you are covered for "thoughts and prayers" on your coverage plan, have a great day.Comment

I would never advocate for violence against the billionaire class. I am, as you all know, a proud capitalist.Originally posted by fishbowlhead View Post
Though it does make you wonder if a few billionaires went to sleep last night thinking "wow, maybe I'm not untouchable by the little people".Comment

Did they catch the shooter?Comment

Na, the CEO's policy didn't cover "catching your killer", that's only on the platinum nova level.Originally posted by Yakumo View PostComment

Yeah it's ruled out as he has a pre-existing condition of death.Originally posted by fishbowlhead View PostComment

I'm actually surprised this type of thing hasn't happened before.Originally posted by fishbowlhead View Post
One of the Grisham novels is about the insurance industry (The Rain Maker - the film is bizz, the book is ace), a part of which was referenced on the BBC website where it's deny, deny, deny payment in the hope the customer will go away or die before any claim can be paid.

Apparently his plane hasn’t exited Syria and is rumoured to have been shot down. Thats unverified and he could well pop up somewhere unfortunately safe.Originally posted by egparadigm View PostWoke up to some good news.

Russian forces have absolutely collapsed as well in Syria withdrawing all forces and whatever equipment they could.
edit. Seems his plane went nw of Homs, turned rapidly back, decreased altitude by 3600m then vanished off radar. Sooooo who knows at this point.
edit. The Kremlin is now saying Assad and his family has landed in Moscow and is being given asylum.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 08-12-2024, 21:50.Comment
