Tbf, I don’t think @winb83 ’s point is how you took it. The CEO is a piece of shyt but him being dead isn’t changing United Healthcare’s business decisions or causing washington to think different about health care. A new CEO will step in and do the same. Laws need to be changed.
Two things can be true. Laws may need to be changed, but also people need to take responsibility for their role in evil. We all make choices and no one is just a cog, especially in an organization that profits off of people who are denied life-saving health care. One more yacht for shareholders isn't worth people's lives. That's not a business model, that's a choice to be evil.

Yeah bro, his posts haven’t said otherwise unless I’m misunderstanding it. The business model is evil.

Could be a coincidence or homey got them shook, so it may have made an impact. We’ll have to see

PR.

THey will put stuff like this back out in a few months once things cool down.

Structural changes need to happen.

FTR, I am not against violence to change things in this country because that's the only thing this nation understands, particularly the wealthy. One murder isn't changing things.

That CEO was just doing his job. He didn't create the system he simply operates in it. Our lawmakers enable that system.

I wish death on no man.
I don't wish death on anyone and I feel bad for his family, but at the same time I don't feel sorry for him. He chose to profit off of an evil industry with evil practices, and millions of people suffer and die because of decisions that his company prioritizes. Where's the mourning and the outrage on the news for the victims of the American healthcare industry?

No way that wealth inequality can continue the way it has been without some blood finally being shed. I'm surprised people haven't been trying to clip off wealthy healthcare executives before now.

One of HLs greatest all stars ladies and gentlemen. Still waiting for his proletariat revolution.

I presume with this logic he is okay with someone with a red maga hat who sees him as the problem with this country taking his life.

did anyone get @DEAD7 opinion on this tragedy?


"Another brother senselessly gunned down on cold Manhattan concrete"

:lolbron:
A CEO's job is literally to maximize value for shareholders. He's a cog in a machine. If the CEO doesn't do that job the board of directors will remove them and put one in place who will.
Thats pretty much my take... a man was senselessly gunned down in the streets.
When the shooter is caught two lives will have ended and nothing will have changed.



Hearing people cheer this as a means to make the rich afraid, is as sad and it is cringeworthy.

Should the rich not know fear?
