I'm a broke bitch. And I had uhc insurance for around a year. They would deny almost any new prescription I would get for severe insomnia. They wanted to to pay like 400 bucks/month for belsomra. Even though i paid like 450/ month for said uhc coverage. I've had bcbs, bcbs of Oklahoma, kaiser and united and united was the worst by far. Bcbs is somewhat ok

If i saw or had info about the shooter, then no I didn't. What guy? What gun? Nah fam my man's tripped and fell on those bullets

If I had information about the gunman, which I don't, I'd be genuinely nervous about calling it in because then I'd become enemy #1 in America.

$50k isn't going to keep me safe from the mob that wants to turn on whoever rats this guy out.

Also, I have a suspicion that a jury will be more sympathetic to the gunman than the CEO, so why risk my safety?

So still less than a year's salary for COL in most states that is barely enough for a down payment on most houses.

Nope. No one should grovel and sell each other out for pennies even if I know people will do it for less if desperate.
