These protests, while better than nothing, will not produce real change.

Just as the George Floyd protests did not produce real change (Pelosi kneeling and raising a fist is not "real change")

UnitedHealth reduced claim denials following the murder. So at least that is some tangible positive result

That's just not true though. You're just spouting bullshit on the internet.

That link states that no federal reform occurred. Which supports my point.

Of the state level changes, they are all aesthetic and surface level changes - and even those are now being undone.

So I'm not seeing the real change. Which demonstrates that the protests were not effective
