Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why tho? Is there like a specific reason?
Investors are mad that UHC management got scared and backed off on the blatant evil by a teeny tiny amount for a few weeks after the CEO got wasted.
New shorting strategy just dropped!
funniest shit ever
I heard people saying about the
that it was adventurism and wasn't going to achieve much, turns out it wasted 
billions
Definitely adventurism but finally one that was thought out enough to both serve as a great rallying issue for the disaffected masses as well as strike enough fear into the targeted company that it sent them into a tailspin. As communists, adventurism isn't one of our tactics but this is a rare case of it being a relatively effective tactic
Luigi isnt a communist, he could be made one, but he didnt do it (allegedly) due to any concrete leftist believes.
He also has a lot of problematic, reactionary views. If he was the actual assassin, he did it because it affected him personally, not because he's against the system itself. It's rightwing infighting coming home to roost.
Yeah of course
Adventurism may not be a solution, but it is part of the narrative!
adventurism as a member of an official socialist organization is dangerous, not as a rando. It was also primarily said because people on hexbear literally thought there was going to be a russian revolution 2.0 in america by Christmas.
I think it's more to do with the Medicare fraud they did. Falsification of diagnoses in order to trigger extra payments to its Medicare Advantage plans.

Holy shit they're finally getting called on this? MA billing fraud has been like an open secret for like a decade, I'm actually shocked this is finally getting investigated. The FTC has probably gotten thousands of tip line calls on this for every single insurance company that offers MA plans.
I think it's because UnitedHealth took it to the extreme: there's rumours that they were falsifying HIV/AIDS diagnosis.
Holy shit.
It's just a rumour, so it could definitely be false. But nothing surprises me these days...
