OK, I read the various finger wagger quotes. I’ll concede one point: the shareholders (capital) bear greater responsibility. Yes, he was “just doing his job.” But it’s dirty work, this job.
It’s true that the primary utility of this type of CEO to a shareholder is liability encapsulation, but if someone hires you to do their dirty work, and you take their money, it doesn’t matter that you’re just doing your job.
In short, any henchman should know what he’s signing up for. Those exorbitant salaries are hazard pay, make no mistake. If you take these dirty jobs, and prolong the suffering of millions, I think it’s reasonable to expect that you’ll need to watch your back. Forever.
I demand that Bezos and Murdoch outlets shut the fuck up.
Note how both demands will be equally successful.
As they’ve shown us already, strongly worded articles and protest don’t do shit.

How can Americans simultaneously hate health insurance CEOs while simultaneously shouting down event attempt to improve healthcare at the ballot?
Neither party was offering single payer. American voters are stupid as fuck but I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make here.
Well, as poor as the choices might seem, last time Trump was in power he spent every day not on the golf course trying to sabotage the ACA. It wasn’t exactly a zero sum choice at the ballot box.
I understand that the democrats are the better choice. But I’m not going to pretend they’re a good or intelligent choice by any stretch of the imagination.
Of course you are right. But voting for a guy working against your interest, or not voting at all and allowing the steamroller to lay you out make even less sense.
shouting down event attempt to improve healthcare at the ballot
Did somebody offer single pay?!
Also, ACA is how we got here dear. Single payer or more dead CEOs likely IMHO
There should not be such job as CEO of health insurance company.
Perhaps there should not be health insurance either. Many other countries fund health care as an obligation to their citizens.
How did non-medical middle-men get into such a crucial responsibility?
Hiatory and the Culture of corrupt within us corporates.
They all operated like Uhc, people just don’t care to understand what this behaviour actually is.
Luigi got people asking questions about health insurance and that’s beautiful but the bigger pictures is that pretty much all corpos act like this. They are making every aspect of life a miserable experience. Endlessly doing weird shit ranging from out right felonies to mild annoyances, got to squeeze every penny.
Normally when you ‘demand’ something, you would have some sort of necessity or something of value that you can withhold until the ‘demand’ is met…
I want the population to exercise more civic engagement and vote to their interests, not their social identity. But the Zeitgeist is a force of nature that cannot be bargained with.
Hence an absolute monarchist is the President Elect and the death of a rich CEO is lauded.
Fox News (12/6/24) quoted one of its own contributors, Joe Concha, saying, “I think this encapsulates the far left’s worldview: If you run a company that isn’t to their liking, you deserve to die.”
This is not about running a random company to someones liking. Its about the company that decides whether people die or not. It literally decides about the life and death of its customers and they wonder why people respond with death threats when the company tries to kill them.
its not just that, it includes forcing people to live with completely treatable unnecessary chronic pain or issues.
It’s profiting off of the suffering of others. It’s evil.
Support for him is also all across the political spectrum. It’s not just leftists.
I demand more sympathy for americans with medical issues. Enough to get action to get them healthcare. Once we have that I might have excess sympathy that could be applied to health insurance execs. so get cracking.
The common people demand more sympathy for Luigi
Out of all the people who have been shot in NYC in 2024, Brian Thompson is the one I feel the least sorry for. And that includes people I’ve never heard of.
This had previously been posted to [email protected] (https://lemmy.world/post/23131889) but was removed as “not politics.” Personally, I think pointing out instances of manufactured consent very much is politics, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Best I can do is deny, defend, and depose.
Kinda off topic, but I wish more of these posts were not on the .world instance. They seem to be giving into the censors and becoming more reddit-like over time.
Very on topic imo
Get off .world yall
As someone that started on Lemmy post Reddit, I found .world to be the most up front and easy to sign up for. I would love to change off of world but I’m not sure the best alternatives or ways to find them? Do you have any recommendations?
I too would like an answer to this. I started on a much smaller, more local instance, but it would always crashing as soon as I started scrolling. Like every single time I used it. Switched to .world and it’s never happened once.
Sopuli.xyz is a great medium sized instance ran by solid admins, highly recommend.
