From his Wikipedia page, some selected excerpts:

Thompson joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004 and was named CEO of UnitedHealthcare government programs that included Medicare and retirement, and community and state divisions in 2021. Under his leadership profits at UHC went from $12 billion in 2021 to $16 billion in 2023.

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC’s prior authorization denial rate was 8.7%. Thompson became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%. For both Medicare and non-Medicare claims, UHC declines at a rate double the industry average.

A lawsuit was filed against Thompson, UnitedHealth chairman Stephen J. Hemsley and two other senior executives in May 2024 for alleged fraud and insider trading due to failing to disclose an antitrust investigation into the company by the United States Department of Justice and by selling stock options before the probe was made public.

When they won’t get their dicks out of their hands in formation, it’s very distracting for others.

Very interesting. I wish the story told more.

South Korean police have arrested a CEO and five employees for manufacturing over 240,000 satellite receivers pre-loaded or later updated to include DDoS attack functionality at a purchaser’s request.

While neither company has been named, the two companies have been trading since 2017. In November 2018, the purchasing company made a special request to include DDoS functionality, with the South Korean manufacturer complying.

Allegedly, the functionality was needed to counter the attacks of a competing entity.

I like the trees in the background.

Well insurance will only pay for it if it’s approved. I’ve had an issue where I hit my out of pocket max, so everything was free, but they denied my refill of zofran entirely. Could be something similar where they won’t pay for the treatment he wants to receive.

Kinda wild. I’ve used chatGPT a lot and never had it just flat out refuse. Even saying this persons names prevents it from responding.

I’m really sick of how pervasive it is everywhere now. You can’t sell a product or provide a service nowadays without advertising some AI aspect. I wish that would go away.

I actually pay for a chatGPT premium account because personally I find a lot of value in it. I use it to help with writing, picture analyzing (what species of … is this), and a lot more. I just wish I could decide when I want AI involved and when I don’t.

Do you know where you are?

Some people think water tastes better crunchy

I want to argue, but the 60mm compels me.

ChatGPT says yes.

Saw that yellow FOD from a distance I suspect.

Hit us with some ticker symbols.

Hard to say, but smuggling artifacts is probably involved. They’re big fans.

He got gregnant and the rest is history.

It’s wild to me that somehow the elite controllers are worst than their cheaper brothers. I’ve owned both series. Both sucked hard.

Better, it’s actually a food group.

So good! I love that I’ve got a ton of time in the game and there are still so many secrets and things I don’t know.

Read the title of this post and immediately thought Noita. It’s such a fantastic game both stock and modded and even after 100 hours in it, I’m far from an expert.

You definitely will feel like a badass wizard.

This circle is 100% fighting with each other while I eat popcorn. Doesn’t sound so bad.
