The New York Police Department is crowd-sourcing their investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to the general public after two days with no positive ID on the shooter. But they may not get much help from the internet, according to multiple popular TikTok sleuths.

Represents a problem with society. Don’t like UnitedHealthcare? - Choose something else. Failed to honor their terms? - Sue them and let people know. It’s how capitalism works. Instead everyone wants to force things to work the way they want and take matters into their own hands. -A bunch of bushwackers.

Yeah because your average person can afford to sue one of the world’s wealthiest organizations.

Get your head out of your ass.

You can’t class action. “by using this service you waive your rights for a class action lawsuit and must settle all disputes via arbitration.” or some bullshit.

You never had a job?

My employer uses United Healtchare, I have no choice in that.

Though Lo and behold, my prior auth that was denied, changed to approved after this.

Why are you blaming this one CEO and not appealing to your empoyer? Prisons were built for people with your mindset. -You’ve never been to prison?

Why are you blaming this one CEO

Under his leadership United’s denial rate has increased dramatically (to 32%, double the industry average), and they implemented an AI model that was known to be racially-biased and had a 90% defect rate in its determination. This particular company and CEO are egregiously worse than the rest of the already fucked up industry.

Again, you never had a job? That not how that works. This CEO however, is in charge of the company that denied my PA. So theres that.

Don’t like UnitedHealthcare? - Choose something else.

Ah yes, of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Guess I’ll wait till next November when open enrollment is back and I’m allowed to change providers to whomever my company picked for me for 2026.

Failed to honor their terms? - Sue them

Another great nugget of advice! My savings of less than a week’s worth of legal fees will surely topple a massive company that has been getting away with this long enough to have more lawyers than I have friends!

If you have a valid case against such a high value target, the lawyers won’t care how much you make.

Only if there is a good chance to win or settle. Validity is one part.

They way the system works is you you buy a service and then a few years later a fuckhead CEO enshittifies it to appease the shareholders. When it’s something like insurance you won’t know the service is shit until you actually try to use it and your claim is denied. You can’t change to a better insurance company that will accept your claim because insurance comapanies won’t accept a past claim when you sign up for the service.

So you’re fucked while the shareholders make more money and the CEO gets a bonus. You vote for someone that’s willing to prosecute price gougers but she loses the election to the scummiest billionaire out there because people care more about WWE memes than having a good government that’ll prevent billionaires from screwing you over.

Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. When greedy billionaires have taken control of the first three boxes, they leave people with only one box they can use.

Choose something else? Choosing insurance is like choosing if you want to drink pee or eat poop. All options suck.

See, this is what I’m talking about. Big fucking picture screaming “LOOK AT ME!”, yet with 131 downvotes.

I shouldn’t be seeing this comment and all. Why can’t Lemmy just auto-hide this for me?
