    Meanwhile, citing the recent killing of Thompson, Centene, a major health insurer, said it would be moving its planned in-person investor day in New York City next week to virtual, according to a statement from the company on Friday. “All of us at Centene are deeply saddened by Brian Thompson’s death and want to express our support for all of those affected. Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers,” said Centene Chief Executive Officer, Sarah M. London. “He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time.”

        It was a great message but it doesn’t work as a slogan or rallying call - (delay) deny and defend are their tactics, that was the joke.

        The NYPD already clarified that the shell casing said “delay”, not “defend”. Please stop spreading misinformation.

          Actually, it was 4 casings, saying Delay, Deny, Depose, and Defend. Also, even if it wasn’t, “misinformation” is WAY too dramatic a term to use for making a common mistake about a word when that word is usually used to describe deliberately spreading disinformation.

          Besides, speaking of misinformation, “the NYPD clarified” doesn’t hold a lot of weight without confirmation from a more trustworthy source.

      Health insurance is a big industry

      Yes, that’s the issue. That’s the part you need to understand.

        Gaslighting generally refers to the act of telling a person obviously untrue things as if it were the truth, usually repeatedly until the person starts to question themselves.

        It’s become a popular phrase used to describe tactics of abusers in relationships.
