In the wake of the killing, widespread public animosity towards health insurers ― and UnitedHealthcare specifically ― may explain why the company quickly limited who could comment on their tribute to Thompson.

Still, people still found a way to express how they felt ― to the tune of more than 90,000 laughing reactions as of Friday.

    I agree that’s a more proper response. I was super drunk last night but there is no longer a court in America that isn’t corrupted because the Supreme Court is corrupted and they overrule

      One could leverage fully independent courts/tribunals. I believe the ICJ has done something similar for countries with non-functioning judicial systems.

      You could start with the corrupt members of the highest court. This would be a good “shit just got real” moment for the oligarchs and their senior goons.

      I heard US supreme courts judges feel they are capable of working on complex cases past their 80s. They should be able to do a few more decades providing full-time community service para-legal support for honest pro bono lawyers as part of their rehabilitation program. 😀

      I am being glib of course. I recognize the challenges with my proposal in context of the US. But then again, every movement towards progress typically starts with something very simple, sometimes as simple as formulating and brain-storming ideas.
