4. I see we've reached the part of the story when we decide the best

Tuesday

way to defend the insurance company is to chip away at the alleged felon.

It was interesting watching the blow up yesterday. Said felon is a rich kid, and that so didn't agree with folks' fantasies of him being a Robin Hood.

He was making a political statement, apparently after dealing with a medical issue. "Manifesto" is a fancy word used by the police/press to frame the story.

I'm not going to defend his alleged behavior, but I will go on record as saying the "healthcare" company is not blameless. And the CEO who decides AI is a great way to shuffle through and deny claims is certainly not blameless either. Murder in the street vs. murder by spreadsheet. You'd think we could come up with a better system.
