Imagine if they all fully liquidated their assets and pooled together their money into a stimulus fund and distributed it all to the public as the ultimate act of goodwill to the American people. I mean, could we dumb libcucks even argue with them anymore? That'd be such an indisputable victory that we'd have to admit that they're right. Man, I really hope they don't do that, that'd just own me so hard that I might have to convert to Christianity. Please don't pass this idea along to them, I can't imagine how embarrassed democrats would be if they did this oh gosh I hope I don't jinx it.
Even though it's nice to see people getting along, I was kinda hoping to make a joke about St Peter's record book being the ultimate tracking cookie.
An office I used to work in had a cafeteria that hired professional chefs. On Fridays, they ran "experiments" on some stations, notably the pizza station. They came up with a bunch of really wacky pizzas; the poutine pizza and chicken & waffle pizza were some of my favorites they made. The Sloppy Joe pizza was the only time I've ever needed a fork and knife for pizza, but somehow wasn't awful.
They did a gumbo pizza one Friday, and it was very confusing. They served it on a big, NY-style slice and used pureed gumbo in place of tomato sauce. It tasted pretty good, but had neither the flavor or consistency of either pizza nor gumbo. Probably would have worked better without cheese, but there's potential in those flavor pairings, IMO.
It was justice because he can no longer harm others.
Sure but he, alone, was not the one who harmed his patients. Realistically, he's probably never even seen a patient's file and likely couldn't identify one if you asked him to. While he was the CEO and officially signs off on what the company does, the company is much more than just him. He will be replaced, and easily; likely before next week is even over. And everybody who enabled him and followed him and carried out his orders will continue to conduct the company as they have before.
IMO, justice for victims involves a positive effect; either through policy reform, repayments, etc. The victims aren't suddenly going to get their claims approved now; they're in the same situation today as they were yesterday. This is a wholly lateral move for them.
This is justice.
How? His victims get nothing; his money goes to his family now. The chances of Thompson actually paying for the damages he caused went from nearly zero to literally zero.
While I feel no sympathy for his death, I don't think that there's any justice in this. His rich family just got a little bit richer (or will, once his estate is processed). And now United gets to negotiate a new, lower pay plan for a replacement CEO, so they get to pocket even more money going forward. The people who came out ahead in this are not those victimized by Thompson's company, but those directly in his circle.
It's an injustice, if anything. Thompson should have had his assets seized and returned to his victims, but now that opportunity is gone forever.
but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.
I feel like that's your optimistic side speaking. My pessimistic side thinks this just encourages CEOs to hire more stringent security details, making themselves even more untouchable. I very much doubt that the intended lesson will be learned here.
Sounds like killing a healthcare CEO isn't the right action for the type of change people are wanting.
Nothing's stopping you from just eating pizza for every meal.
Pizza in the mornin', pizza in the evenin', pizza at suppertime...
It will now offer more flavorful glues to pair with your pizza.
Dying. If it's so scary, then why does everybody do it?

They tried too hard to be a CoD/Siege clone without offering anything new. I'm surprised it ever launched in the first place.
It really feels like somebody at Ubisoft is intentionally trying to tank the whole company or something lately. They used to be such a competent studio, so much so that it's hard to believe that these major failures as of late are an accident.
