Summary

The NYPD warns US healthcare executives about an online hitlist following the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

The threat has led to increased security measures and concerns about copycat killings inspired by social media posts celebrating the murder.

The NYPD bulletin highlights the need for heightened protection due to the potential inspiration from the suspect's notebook and online reactions justifying the shooting.

Maybe now is a good time to follow up about the $2000 United health care owes me in reimbursements.

If only there were something they could do about being some of the most hated people in American society right now.

Maybe they should warn the healthcare executives not to be such terrible people.

"Hitlist"... so, the quarterly earnings report?

Squirm you rich fucks.

I hope every healthcare executive gets panic attacks and then gets addicted to benzos after losing their mind living paranoid walking down the street.

Probably the meme that shows their name and picture.

It’s nice to think they’re freaking out, but I feel like whatever extra precautions they take for themselves and their families will be passed onto us and result in even more expensive healthcare.

Still worth it tho.
