It's all just so fucking sad to have to watch. And so many people that should have solidarity are being turned against each other AND falling into the trap of harboring anger toward other disadvantaged people. We need to keep the eye on the real war: class, not culture. It's the only way out. And the culture war hawks will be out in full force trying to turn the rest of us against each other.
It matters for history. This moment in history will likely be seen in hindsight as pivotal (edit: in the US, I mean , at least /edit) and all the public, widely distributed media possible to document it will help ensure future generations have a chance to get a better look at the attempts to hold the Teflon one accountable.
Inheritees are probably going to feel disincentivized to hold on to anywhere close to a billion dollars for themselves, I'd imagine, so there's that at least
Propublica just continues to put out great journalism. It seems crazy, but there is a part of this article that is basically a side note and simultaneously is also illuminating about another issue on the public mind recently:
But there was also an Ohio OB-GYN on the national board of directors — he used to work for the Cleveland Clinic, I discovered, and now led a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. The doctor was joined at board meetings by a city prosecutor in Utah, an ex-city council member and, Williams was later told, a sergeant with an Illinois sheriff’s department. (The doctor did not respond to requests for comment. He has since left his post with the UnitedHealth subsidiary, a spokesperson for the company said.)
This is the calibre of doctors that UHC apparently relies on to inform them how to best "enhance profits" by denying "unnecessary care", and it's not remotely surprising at this point.

I expect all of these names are on his oft-teased enemies list and have been for a while now
