If MLS supporters groups react the way I think they will, the oyster population is about to get wiped out from all the pearl clutching.

I don't think that any of us condone murder...

Honestly, this right here is the difference between us and this class of people.

We have a moral compass where we recognize that taking another person's life is inherently wrong. They don't. They don't care that people get sick. That people die. That people go broke. They don't give a shirt. As long as the money flows, the revenues go up and the stock prices keep growing. Tylenol didn't care that they were accidentally poisoning people in the 1980s with cyanide. They cared that there was a public relations backlash and people stopped buying friggin' Tylenol. All that dying was killing business.

So while we sit here and mull over whether death for a human is acceptable, these people don't care.

A friend who is a UHC employee says 30,000 layoffs are coming, per an all-hands meeting today. Employees are being offered the opportunity to volunteer to leave with severance, or take their chances.

Thankfully, I've never been in a position where I was forced to make that choice. But from observing the newspaper industry's long decline, one thing I've learned is you always take the buyout. It's almost always the best deal you're going to get and the money is still there to pay you off, which might not be true when the next round of cuts comes around six months or a year later.

Also: If you so much as inquire about any element of the execution offer, go ahead and take your place in the guillotine's path. Your curiosity tells the bros that you're curious, which tells them they can whack you three months later.

FWIW, a nutcase outside the company spiked the Tylenol, and J&J wasn't the only company targeted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tylenol_murders

Figured Elon would have sniffed this out already. I'm sure the AG will put out a press release Monday, saying it was all a big misunderstanding and apologize to the leaders of United Health and all of their shareholders.
