    if Mr. Mangione had spent more time pulling on his bootstraps and less time feeling sorry for himself and obsessing over his debilitating chronic back pain that UnitedHealthcare refused to cover treatment of – for I’m sure for very good reasons – he might have one day helmed a parasitic corporation of his own. Sadly, he chose another path.”

    Love the satire, but one important point: Luigi didn’t have UHC insurance. So if he did do this, it wasn’t even because of a personal grudge - it was to strike back at a system in general that fucked him over.

      Huh. I haven’t seen that factoid before.

      It distances the motive from personal vendetta. It provides support to the narrative that he did this for principles, and not revenge.
