Maybe this extend to other corporations. Nestle, FIFA, Blackstone…
Other corpos in the same industry are def taking note https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/health/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-anesthesia-claim-limits/index.html
already removed public facing leadership info like the internet archive isn't a thing.
Astonishing timing
Most likely just spending more on security.
This is the part thats exciting to me.
Who hasn't been affected by this? Or hasn't seen health insurance denials hurt people?
They can pay security all they want. But the security better be truly sociopathic because whatever the salaries they get paid still won't bring back friends, family, neighbors, mentors, etc.
But the security better be truly sociopathic
I mean... the industry tends to attract a certain type.
Let them pay for security. In the words of the IRA: They need to be right all the time, we only need to be right once.
The hurt folks only need to be lucky once.
Do you mean blackrock? FIFA and all the international sporting organizations suck and are corrupt as hell but they’re just not on the same level of evil as health insurance companies. Nestle is, but it’s evilness isn’t really in America, it’s elsewhere, and elsewhere isn’t armed to the teeth like we are.
I’m shocked it’s taken this long.
Indeed it would be a horrible development if the missing liability would be enforced by vigilantes!
They know they're evil and everyone hates them.
They're fine with that, cause the money is good and the plebs don't matter.
And up until now the only consequences, if there were any, were ~~fines~~ the cost of doing business.
I can’t find where I read this, but very few of the over 16,000 employees mourned the guy, as he was really hated.
I gotcha
Resentment for Thompson was widespread at the company, the employee said, citing an internal company announcement about his death that only garnered 28 comments despite being seen by 16,000 employees.

As one commenter put it: "You know your business is valid and moral when you have to run internal affairs like the mob".
LMFAOOOOO this story just gets better and better
I wonder if even the wife and kids were relieved to see him gone
"My condolences."
This comment is not a guarantee of sympathy. Sympathy must be reviewed for necessity before determination of it can be established.
If there was ever a time for jury nullification this is it.
Hopefully it never comes to that. I think it's more likely they pick a scapegoat than catch the actual assassin. The pictures that came out yesterday don't even look like the same person.
That corrupt motherfucker Eric Adams needs a win badly. Remember the Central Park Five?
That would be fucking glorious. We've already seen the rule of law not apply to politicians and the rich. Let's see how they like when it doesn't apply to common folk either.
PR machine already going out to protect the rich.
Seems pretty reasonable since our elected officials will not help us
ok, sure. counterpoint argument though.
Murder is an awful answer for healthcare greed
So is this the start of the revolution we are waiting for since we got into the stage of late capitalism? Can we finally burn those executives which leech from 99% like parasites?
this is the dress rehearsal.
we're waiting for the tone deaf reception from the producer (UHC).
It's going to get fun when they put out a public statement shaming public opinion.
“What kind of world are we living in where some psycho can just decide one day that someone shouldn’t be alive anymo—oooh, I hear it now.”
That, but without the self realization
Lol, mods here be like "protected by satire, fuck you, TOS"
🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽
Can't wait for 6 months from now when people are saying, "what a mistake it was to make fun of that CEO" for no fucking reason. Like they do for BLM; defund the police; wokeness; eat the rich; anti-work movement; anything that brings light to the corporate oligarchs and the systems of oppression thet they use. Nah, this is where we are at. You can pretend our morals will overcome but that's just pretend.
I sure af ain't saying we were wrong. I just have no power to do anything about it.
I'm surprised some execs didn't get a Delay Deny Defend graffiti on their doors.
