I love how it’s an open secret that basically everyone fucking loves Luigi Mangione and we don’t even know if he did it.

if Mr. Mangione had spent more time pulling on his bootstraps and less time feeling sorry for himself and obsessing over his debilitating chronic back pain that UnitedHealthcare refused to cover treatment of – for I’m sure for very good reasons – he might have one day helmed a parasitic corporation of his own. Sadly, he chose another path.”

Love the satire, but one important point: Luigi didn’t have UHC insurance. So if he did do this, it wasn’t even because of a personal grudge - it was to strike back at a system in general that fucked him over.

Huh. I haven’t seen that factoid before.

It distances the motive from personal vendetta. It provides support to the narrative that he did this for principles, and not revenge.

Looked it up to double check, as it’s what I remembered reading.

The New York Police Department told CBS News that there are no indications that Mangione was a UnitedHealthcare customer.

Officials believe Mangione may have targeted the company because of its status as the largest health insurer in the United States.

I would imagine it might be because United denies claims more than most (all?) other major insurance providers. I mean, it could be because of that, if Luigi did it, but he’s innocent so this is purely hypothetical.
