This (the suit) is a glorious bit of trolling, meant to keep UHC’s evildoing high up there in people’s newsfeeds. It provides clickbait headlines and tasty bits of content (much more to come I hope) like “aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” that will keep the sharing machine running and the victim complaints in full view.

This is brilliant, I wish I’d thought of the tactic. The class members have to own at least a share of stock while still being able to sleep at night. Where do you find such martyrs?

I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes, alleged to be from A. Carnegie:

“The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.”

I detested the Microsoft Bill (I’m in tech) but the post-M$ Bill seems to have reformed quite a bit. I have to admire someone who gives away all their $ (whatever the route - directly or through a foundation) to try to solve some of humanity’s problems. Of course MAGA/Qanon portraying him as a villain doesn’t hurt his image either, it pretty much guarantees that there must be something good about him.

earmarking $45 billion to detain 100,000 migrants

$450K per migrant. I wonder which MAGA-sponsoring corporations are going to see that payday, and I wonder what % of it they’ll be kicking-back to Orange and Elmo? We’ve got a lot of citizens here. Kidnapping them at government expense will be extremely profitable, even at today’s rates.
