Sucks for his family. I hope his daughter recovers nonetheless, and he realizes his role in her suffering.
He's the finance director at UH and he can't afford to send his kid to hospital? -_-

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Trying to get sympathy points and extra cash?
Not without having to sell his vacation home or boat.
"Sorry Emma, daddy needs his vacation time to handle his job of denying people healthcare."
He really denied a lot to earn that third yacht
This one of those "leopardsatmyface" kinda posts
Nowhere in the post do they make any indication that their insurance (or independent wealth) isn't covering the healthcare. This is a person who's job is to make money off of people in poor health, why wouldn't he try to profit off of his own family?
True. Furthermore, does the daughter really have leukemia? Does the daughter really exists?
Is it more evil to lie about a child with leukemia for profit or exploit an actual child with leukemia for profit? That's your answer.
They work in healthcare and financing. The very branch that has worked to mess up healthcare prices. Now that he needs healthcare to be affordable, he is asking for help trying to afford healthcare. That's what gofundme is for.
My guess is that they are wealthy enough/actually receive good insurance coverage, that without the gofundme, they would still be able to afford it just fine. I think they created the gofundme just because they knew it would make some money.
Well, they are a bit evil in that way I suppose
...and his job.
Doing fake charity runs is one way of making money I suppose
Pretty sure the Financial Director of a health insurance company is making a little more than minimum wage...and if suspect it has something to do with making sure as little of that money leaves the company as possible.
A dedicated asshole
Written by a leopard
I'm wondering what kind of community leopard-sat-my-face would be. Probably not a good one.
One of the furry ones
Full of large cats, really cute :p
The US medical system is a fucking joke, they have the GoFundMe at 78,000 as the goal, which don't get me wrong is no small chunk of change, but the fact that if they didn't have insurance it would cost around 45,000 the first year alone in just diagnosis and treatment costs, average 7,000 per year after that and then average 114,000 the last year of treatment is extortionary.
Granted I would expect someone like that would have insurance for the family, which means realistically they're probably only going to have like a $10,000 yearly deductible but still
It's because hospitals and insurance companies collaborate to inflate prices to skim money off the top.
A procedure that should cost $1,000 anywhere else is magically $10,000 in America so that Americans pay $1000 out of pocket and then the insurance company pays $9000, because they already collected $20,000 from the collective pool of Americans paying for their "service" since it's "unaffordable" to not have insurance since insurance companies have increased the price to make it so they are necessary.
I have a decent public healthcare, but also a private one from my employer. It's around 950 euros/year... And I don't have to pay anything out of pocket for 99% of stuff. I haven't paid anything in the last 10 years, aside from the medicines which are generally very cheap and some visits for my son (sleep coach and stuff like that)
US health system is a scam.
HOWEVER, I'm seeing enshitification looming. More than once I've been recommend unnecessary treatments or out of pocket ones when there were some covered or even free. Last time I went for a dental cleaning they had me locked with a sales person trying to offer brackets.
This kind of BS shouldn't be allowed on LinkedIn. That platform is so cursed I've purged all my info from it. I'll straight up never use it again.
I remember when I left the platform about ten years ago I actually had to call the company to finalize the deletion of my account, the process was so convoluted. I had a client who was also trying to leave, he literally contracted me to handle the account removal for him after I told him about my own ordeal. Hopefully it's at least automated today.
I have one but I never use it? It just seems super dystopian to me. I sometimes see that coworks are using it fairly regularly, and I don't understand. It's like Facebook nonsense with a corporate twist. It's so weird, but I guess it makes sense if you want to fall into the "yes man" bootlicking management type role
Exactly, it's always given me a corporate cult vibe. People bragging about how they slave 80 hours a week for a corporation that exploits them and would cast them away in a heartbeat if it was more profitable. Just gross sycophants and grifters.
Maybe he can ask their AI underwriters for some tots and pears.
Oh, he knows what he's doing.
If this is real then sorry, but not sorry.
Sucks to be the little girl but your father is a monster who actively tortures and kills people every day, you won't get sympathy from me anymore you won't get help, you will get nothing. If you die, then I'm sorry for you, but thousands of other kids have suffered and died through the company where your sweet sweet father makes the rules.
Thing is, when (if) you grow up, you will likely follow in his foot steps because he'll teach you how to screw people over and not feel bad about it
I'm sorry, but I feel nothing for you. If I had to choose between helping you or stopping your father, I'd do the latter as that would ease more suffering. I'm sorry, but I can't and won't feel bad for you, not anymore. My tolerance is gone, it's grinded to dust by years of abusive asshole after abusive asshole.
Your father and his kind created this idea where you have to beg online for someone to ease the suffering of your child only to have some asshole like Andrew Tate laugh at you, call you a loser, and brag about his car. Tate, for what it's worth, can be killed and I will toast an expensit drink on that. He's human scum.
So yeah, enjoy your cancer little girl, I hope you get the exact same what all other children have gone through thanks to your father. Goes to show that the asshole couldn't even be bothered to just change the rules for his own daughter, makes you wonder how much he really loves her.
Fuck om dark, I'm cynical, but that is what the world made me
