If Luigi signs every Dollar he can probably sell those on EBay and double or more the amount.
Healthcare industry: “Wait, people had $300k just lying around? We gotta raise our prices!”

Yep, my bad. What he said.
Crowdfunding fixing the problems in American healthcare AGAIN
Love how this is actually uplifting

If you were poor and given an opportunity to become a doctor but get paid only as much as a housekeeper, would you do it?
Luigi should be freed because the subject in question decides to pay the doctor far more than a nurse but at the same time they take an even larger chunk for doing nothing at all. All this does is ensures the patient dies or becomes a working slave or dies slowly after becoming homeless.
If you make 200k you’ll still find it hard to pay 10k a month or whatever these people want. If you make 50k and are sole provider you’re so very much screwed.
Even if you make 200k, paying 10k a month would be just about your entire take-home pay.
I do not make that much, but my insurance pays out something close to $300K a year for my normal monthly meds. Chronic conditions in the US ftw.

Wanna help get those numbers up?
Ok well howabout this idea. Starting crowd funds to put out hits on the remaining health insurance and big pharma CEO’s. Fuckin drop a name and for $300,000 ill make them gone.
“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Here’s a clip of him on CNN.I want to hope the trial is covered relentlessly, but I know YouTube/Tiktok/Facebook are going to snub it in the algorithms. Reddit will mass ban it.
Not to speak of cable news.
Our best hope is Donald Trump opening his mouth about it, as he doesn’t seem to recognize the Streisand Effect. Then the algos will pick it up.
psst guess where it likely wont be blocked… Peertube.
(Personally im not plugged in there, so I dont know how well it would handle it, but its a nice to think it wont be burried there)
Problem is discoverability. We all want Peertube to succeed, and they have excellent technology, but discovering content there is next to impossible. Otherwise its active user numbers would grow. It’s the same reason Bluesky - for all its flaws - succeeded where Mastodon failed.
Why would they snub a massive driver of revenue?
Because he represents a threat to them.
I suspect most CEOs are going to take that small risk in order to earn a few more billions, and spend a tiny portion of that on additional security. Maybe donate a pittance to the police.
If you can make $1000, and it costs you $500 to make you secure doing that, then it’s worth it. Line must go up, as everyone says.
Because their billionaire owners specifically ask them to? Self compliance with regulators?
Masks are off, pretty much everyone but Google has loudly advertised they manipulate the algorithms for their interests, seemingly as a gesture after the election.
Could you provide some links on the advertised manipulation of the algorithms for their interests? Thanks.
Google just does it quietly.
ID is set to air a documentary about the alleged murder suspect with interviews from individuals who knew Mangione personally, as well as with New York Mayor Eric Adams, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny, and other experts on the case.
I am curious how they are going to spin this. I would hope they don’t demonize The Adjuster, but kinda expecting it because of the money in the health insurance industry.
All the news about Luigi is soooo much more enjoyable than hearing the same type of outrageous US political headlines we usually hear.
And this is actually news! Hope the amount is enough.
Could have gone to people in medical debt because of insurance companies because, you know, he’s from a wealthy family and doesn’t need money…
What about the people who never got their treatment because the insurance company wouldn’t authorize it up front?
I have serious permanent damage to my vision in one eye because the insurance company would not approve the medication my doctor chose. Now, years later, I am on that initial medication my doctor chose and it works great. I spent a couple years trying two other medications first and they were horrible.
He saved blue cross patients far more on surgical anesthesia by now.

Clearly what Luigi did works, only positive change to our health insurance confidence scheme of a healthcare system in our lifetimes, however slight.
Thank you Luigi! You showed us the only thing that seems to work on capitalists. Fear.
Fair point.
I suppose it’s pretty cool in a symbolic way, but you’re not wrong.
Legal defense “oh, sorry kid, the cost is $300,001. Guess you gotta do what the government decides…”
Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.
For the record, I’m not in favor of this. I just know how these things go. Government thinks it’s above the people. Just ask Martin Luther King. Oh wait, you can’t. And not from old age either, as I realize that by 2025 it would have been plausible to die of old age. No, you couldn’t ask him in 1964.
Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.
Considering that that’s something that explicitly results in disbarment, and that an incompetent or deliberately poor legal defense is grounds for a new trial, I highly doubt that this would occur.
There are ways around these consequences, of course, but there would be very few defense attorneys willing to risk their career to facilitate a win for the government. I suppose blackmail isn’t out of the question, if they want to go down that road, but that’s highly speculative and conspiratorial.
Don’t waste your mental health getting mad about things that haven’t happened
I made things up and then the things I made up made me angry 😡
That’s not how these things go.
What? The article doesn’t even suggest that his legal defense isn’t going to represent him.
It’s a bit rambled, but I suspect they’re talking more about out the issues with the legal system and its control by the ruling class rather than any specific mentioned in the article.
