Honest answer? Nukes.
Or rods from god.
But the system doesn’t chill in orbit- it launches on Sub-O trajectories to get the cargo or payload in place quickly.
The problem is it’s only slightly more subtle than a nuke in the face, costs ridiculous per launch, has extremely limited capacity, and is only a few hours faster than say, Mach 6 (aka hypersonic.)
We already have a best in class logistical system that makes either of the hypersonic or sub-o systems… extremely niche.
they don’t seem to be concerned about the policies themselves, just that scrutiny means they can’t pursue those and because of that they can’t meet the forecasts.
FTA:
The investors described this as “materially false and misleading,” pointing to the immense public scrutiny the company and the broader health insurance industry experienced in the wake of Thompson’s killing.
The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.
“As such, the Company was deliberately reckless in doubling down on its previously issued guidance,” the suit reads.
The company eventually revised its 2025 outlook on April 17, citing a needed shift in corporate strategy — a move that caused its stock to drop more than 22% that day.
“The company denies any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to defend the matter vigorously,” a UnitedHealthcare spokesperson said in a statement.
Thompson’s fatal shooting on the streets of New York City in broad daylight sent shockwaves across the nation.
Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old man accused of the killing, has pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges against him. The legal defense fund for Mangione surpassed the $1 million mark in donations on Tuesday.
Time to name and shame these shareholders.
fucking ghouls.
I’d say calling them a “six pack of white women” would never be acceptable in a profession setting (ie a lawyer commenting on a trial his daughter is working for the defense on.)
There’s better ways to phrase it that is far from being so disparaging.
There may very well be an issue of racism. That’s for comb’s actual defense team to bring to the judges attention.
Further, there absolutely is a better way to express that concern. It was an absolutely sexist comment and highly inappropriate. as a lawyer Geragos should know better.
Especially as he is loosely connected to the defense team and could potentially taint the jury pool.
Well. He could. If he had the mental competence to work a phone.
they’re talking about sub-o cargo things, yes. But the only thing you need that kind of global delivery window, and don’t want to keep, you know, mostly discrete… all make really big explosions.
the launch vehicle could just as easily be used as a ballistic missile of any sort as a cargo thingy.
But again, we have Best-in-Class military logistics; and we have bases all over the world staged with teams ready to go. any conceivable thing that would need a 90-minute response is so niche, it’d probably never actually get used. the cost of just a single launch vehicle is probably a fairly large chunk of the operating costs for those bases; and those methods of deployment don’t come with the added issue of being really freaking obvious.
