UnitedHealth Group leader breaks silence on CEO murder, says health care system is flawed

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

She Made $10,000 a Month Defrauding Apps like Uber and Instacart. Meet the Queen of the Rideshare Mafia

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.

Samsung Requires Independent Repair Shops to Share Customer Data, Snitch on People Who Use Aftermarket Parts, Leaked Contract Shows

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

Video on Trump Truth Social page references ‘unified Reich’

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

Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down,"
