Over 100 Americans have died from diabetes since this guy was shot. Where are the headlines for all of them? Does the fact that they were murdered by a system instead of an individual make their deaths less noteworthy?
'Nobody panics when things go "according to plan."' -- as a software engineer, I assure you this isn't completely true. If things are too smooth, something is definitely, probably horribly and sneakily, wrong.
Uhh, correct me if I'm wrong, but the total population of America is 335m. If 16m people are dying DAILY, your entire country will be dead by Christmas.
If a 20th of the population dropped dead overnight, I would like to think that any nation would panic.
This assassination should be the first step to trigger a real movement of eat the rich but sadly people will again to choose "violence bad" and protect the parasite class.
Imagine the brouhaha if it were musk or bezos. All the justice felt over this is just venting with no effect on IRL events. Matter of fact, his job will likely be filled sooner rather than later. This will be just a minor blip on the big screen of history
Seems like its the other way around on here. Honestly, the insurance system should just change to universal health care and if wealthy people aren't content they could just buy an extra insurance on top or pay themselves while still contributing to public health.
The system is at fault, not a replaceable CEO. Because while he might be replaceable for the company, he sure still had a family, friends and nothing will change now
This 16 million thing is really making the rounds. It's not 16 million deaths. It's 16 million requests for insurance to pay the bill being denied. Yes, it almost assuredly results in lowered quality of life and probably even shortens lifespan (I don't know how dramatically), but 16 million dying on the regular would wipe out the population pretty quickly.
As someone that calls police out to their face while accepting them throwing rocks at my house, following me to the bank and the store, following me in the stores, having their kids harass me everywhere I go ... and I still mock and call them names and send letters to judges, chief of police, and city council, state legislators, send letters and call congress and the president, attends protests, gives money to bail funds, complains to family and friends about the state of the USA only to be rebuffed and ostracized by them too,
Fuck you for whining about me still caring about a life.
Just fuck your weak, violence wanting ass. You are just as bad as them.
Love that the entire internet, left, right, authoritarian, liberal, and everyone in-between came out to say “lol, get rekt, oligarch.” Nothing I’ve ever seen has been as unifying as this. Running for office under the banner of beheading CEOs might sincerely get you elected.
We have people like the Joker who give us philosophical questions about our civilization but we've yet to see a billionaire use their infinite money and resources to dress up in a suit and mask, fight crime and build a fancy car or jet with exotic weapons to fight real life villains.
Everyone is losing their minds because they're afraid there'll be a run on popcorn, not because anyone will miss a waste of space healthcare CEO.
If people don't feel like we can make things better with negotiation, this is where it goes. I'm not up for pretending I didn't see this coming.
This may be good time to be an experienced professional body guard, because there's a lot of healthcare CEOs left and no way was the alleged attacker (I didn't see shit!) the only person they've hurt.
