While I expected to enjoy Steve's hot take on the latest sensational "Murder of the Century", he had me at "The United Healthcare killer and conjugal visits", LOL!

Of course, men on Death Row represent masculinity at its even worse."
It's as if the tail ends of the two distributions are locked in a fatal attraction for the other.

I admit that I was taken aback a bit when I saw the trailers for, and then watched, the remake of "Road House". I did not previously associate Jake Gyllenhaal with being an action star a la Sly Stallone, Arnie Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme, etc. I could see Liam Neeson transitioning to an action hero (the Taken series, etc.), because he's a fairly big dude at 6'4", but Jake G. seems less plausible (5'11", which is everyman height). He did a pretty decent turn in the role, though. Connor MacGregor stole a lot of the intensity as the psycho bad guy; I look forward to seeing him more in the future.
My younger brother is a retired prison guard. When I brought up the idea of conjugal visits years ago he looked at me like I was a fool and told me that conjugal visits were a sure way to get lots of drugs into prison.
The late actress Sue Lyon once married a black inmate in the Colorado State Prison. His name was Gary "Cotton" Adamson and he was a convicted murderer. Sue Lyon sued for conjugal visits but lost her case. Sue Lyon was diagnosed with bi-polar disease at an early age, according to Miss Lyon's one child, Nona Harrison. Sue Lyon has a bizarre career to say the least. In the 1960s, she was briefly one of the highest paid actresses in the world but her career fell apart after she married a black football player named Roland Harrison in 1971. Interestingly, she grew up in Long Beach, CA and was good friends with Michelle Gilliam, later known as Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas. Michelle Phillips lived her own chaotic and adulterous life.
For purely eugenic reasons I am entirely against conjugal visits for prisoners. It's an insane policy to facilitate the reproduction of the worst elements of society.
As for Mr. Gyllenhaal, perhaps his depressed appearance could be tied to the cocktail of performance enhancing drugs he must of have been on to get super jacked?
Yup, people left and right are sick of our health care system. It would be beyond fitting of the bizarreness of current times, if this murder led to a legislative reworking of health insurance under Trump with cooperation from democrats.
I fall into the Affordable Care Act risk pool, where premiums are set by income not risk profile. The math is simple: $10K a year on premiums and $10K deductible and co-pays. $20K will cover 98% of my medical needs in a given year so I just keep my fingers crossed until Medicare. Lots of self-employed 50 and 60 somethings doing this.
Basically, US healthcare just incorporates the worst aspects of all the systems. It would be nice if we enacted some scheme along the lines of the subsidized insurance that every other civilized country has with a reasonable deductible to keep people honest, and we could scrap the tort system to pay for it. But practically and Constitutionally it can never happen.
I agree. I used to be a firm free marketer, even on healthcare. Then I grew up. I paid into the system, broadly speaking, my entire life. First my parents paid, then my employers and I paid, occasionally I paid alone for COBRA. Then, early middle aged, with a newly minted "pre-existing condition" I started a company and needed to get health insurance on the "free market". No one would touch me. We let the companies set the risk pools so heads they win, tails I lose. I'm noodling a hypothetical solution to the whole thing based on "single risk pool" instead of "single payor" which would include the option of government subsidies for the unlucky. I don't have it worked out yet. It might be no set of rules could create proper incentives.
I wonder why they think this is the guy given that he is wearing similar but clearly different clothes. Maybe they tracked his path via a series of cameras. People are already speculating about jury nullification. Consensus online is that United is the worst of the worst and people are sharing stories of UHC caused delays resulting in serious harm to their loved ones.

Don’t have an opinion on conjugal visits.
I’ve been noticing how the comments on stories of this murder are all like: “I don’t approve of murder, but…”
Guy is set to become an anti-hero.

Of course, that will not happen.

Jake Gyllenhaal in the Presumed Innocent series looks eerily like Bryan Kohberger.
I suspect this guy, if caught, is more likely to be the bride in a big house wedding.
This may sound disrespectful, but I’m really pleased that everyone seems to have dropped this “Avenue of the Americas” nonsense for 6th Ave.
