In 2023, UnitedHealth Group generated a net income of approximately 23.14 billion U.S. dollars.
In terms of scale, this feels like he was underpaid. Says something about how this company viewed him. Does somebody need to go after boards or stockholders next?
Just a few from mostly recent years, varying sources. Of course some can be found saying otherwise, but I feel like a meta review would reveal it’s likely at least 50%+ most of the time.
Sixty-two percent respond with universal coverage.
63% of U.S. adults say the government has the responsibility to provide health care coverage for all
The vast majority of Americans, 70 percent, now support Medicare-for-all
Whaddya know, it spikes every time there are recent sales.
Definitively definite defined definition.
Detecting symptoms amd signs of a thing is not predicting the future.
That’s like seeing a car that isn’t going to stop, so you slow down before you might T-bone them. That’s not really “predicting the future” but just paying attention and calculating likelihoods.
I think it stems from a movement to stop identifying people first by their disability. I think along the lines of the difference between “Here’s a disabled person” or “Here’s a person who happens to have a disability.” Lots of people would rather be first identified as a person.
Shrug.
Read more history, even just the last 1-200 years. Really dig in to the shit they don’t get into in school. What you’ll find is that times have always been “troubling” and if anything I think there’s a selfishness some people have when they always focus on somehow NOW is the worst time ever and NOW is when things are terrible and everything good will somehow end.
Honestly, whatever you think is “troubling” nowadays probably isn’t even new or the first time. But so many people don’t understand just how fucked up all of history has been and yet people and countries and cultures survived.
If anything, life today in general for most is far better than in all of human history. Due to advancements in technology and medicine, most people don’t have to worry about basic survival things the same way they might have even just 100 years ago.
And you’d likely still find that out using the same question from the left.
Also just some warning that there is immense racial bias in a lot of data. Take what you’ve heard with a grain of salt.
This is exactly the issue that happens. They write things out narratively like a decrease happened, which would cause some panic in certain groups we work with, and then they would argue when we requested they fix it to represent a decrease in the rate of increase, or a slower/lower increase than prior, or however they wanna say it. But it certainly didn’t decrease.
Was definitely not bragging or saying I’m the only one. I just distinctly remember some people who were very passionate about this attacking me and in some cases it destroyed our friendship or acquaintance since they judged me for it.
Never made sense to me. I told them I never refused to tip people. I wasn’t an asshole about it, but I certainly tried to avoid going to places that expected tipping.
Which is idiotic. At most other jobs, that is internal, impacts rewards like bonuses, and potential fireability. Just stupid to make it the customers problem.
I work in a place full of statisticians, and we’ve had to unfortunately have numerous conversations with some of them about the difference between “a decrease” and “a decrease in the rate.” Apparently “it’s increasing slower” isn’t clear enough for some.
“tongue punching the fart box” and “Renaissance” in the same sentence.
Bravo.
“I read this online and so now I repeat it online to others to seem smart and give myself a smug sense of satisfaction.”
Fuck all tipping.
Fuck all tipping. Fuck unclear prices. Fuck variable service.
Put clear prices. Expect consistent service. Pay fair wages.
If it’s about low pay. Why not expect businesses to pay fair liveable wages like every other industry?
If it’s about quality of service. Why do you not expect good service every time? Why do you not also tip your doctor for good service or the construction workers who ensured the roads are good for you to use?
Idiotic inconsistencies and morons everywhere defending it. Only in recent years are people finally taking notice, but 10 years ago oh I’m an asshole for suggesting tipping should be banned in favor of consistency, clear prices, and fair wages.
The same people who think they pay federal tax dollars cause they never realize they get it all back and then some.
The same one that was installed on people’s devices without their knowledge or consent? I think you’re avoiding the real issue there.
My issue is that most mom & pop shops suck. Local places often have horrid customer service or business practices and are run by people who have no business running businesses. Very few are legitimately good.
And it’s not just where I live now. This has been the case everywhere I have lived.
It’s why I hate the blanket “support local” bs.
Pull the stick out? I love history and thought of what you said as well and those women ARE remembered, but for a fleeting forgettable moment in a lemmy forum, even I had a laugh.
