- they obviously have no clue about the archive.
- OMG, that meme! do you have any idea what is the context?

  Just realized that I might have misunderstood your question. It's a giant (telepathic) bug, and it was afraid because it got captured.

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
  
  ONLY IN CT.
- 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.
  
  And who says the security will be loyal? Just like who says the cops are really gonna try to catch this guy?
  The hatred of the health insurance companies is truly universal. In such a divided polarized country it’s truly incredible how unifying this act of murder was.
  Everyone except the politicians have to deal with these insurance companies. That includes cops and private security. How many of them have had their claims denied for their sick children or family members? No amount of money can buy off that rage.
- 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.

  Nestlé is Swiss, and the Swiss have a gun ownership rate that doesn't exactly say "not armed to the teeth". And they siphoning the great lakes is definitely a North American problem.
  
  Blackstone and Blackrock deserve to be on the list.
  Silly thing- Gboard swype got Blackstone first try twice, but failed twice on Blackrock, then gave me blackcock. I've never typed that as a compound word in my life.
- ..., exxon, shell, chevron, ...
  
  Exxon-mobil... BP...
- Indeed it would be a horrible development if the missing liability would be enforced by vigilantes!
- Those don't affect people as personally as healthcare so it's unlikely.
  
  Give it a decade or two, when the effects of climate change really start fucking people over, they lose their jobs/housing/food, that's when shit will hit the fan. We're still only at the beginning of the effect, and when they really hit it will put the squeeze on everything. The current system is cracking under its own weight.
  And the housing market is just a ticking time bomb.
- How is this not the top comment?

I for one, am hoping, that this is just the beginning.
- Samesies. Let the guillotines commence.
- I wonder how many it will take until we get universal healthcare.
  
  I have enough popcorn to find out.
  It would be fucking priceless if America only got universal healthcare as a result of executing rich people. Very character consistent.
  Sad, but I mean we take what we can get and that lesson will be around for a long long time if it works…

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.
  
  lol CEOs themselves were NEVER fined. At worst the company was fined, which was then passed to the consumer.

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?
  
  When Trump hopped on a bandwagon to imprison 5 black kids for the shooting done by Bernard Getz?
- 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
  
  The rich aren't listening, what's your genius answer?
- Nicholas Forko... that name sounds made up.
  
  Out of curiosity, "Forko" sounds to me like "Porco" which is Portuguese for "pig". Lol.
- It's a good time to see some important cogs in their perspective machine.
- Can we just form our own society or something? Leave these people alone with themselves. If they are really worth 1 Billion people, they will do fine on their own.
- I kind of agree with them. Going around shooting people is not great for society.
  
  You know what's objectively millions of times worse? Depriving dying children of Healthcare. Also, the police go around shooting people every single day. Those people are just usually working class. People only give a shit now cause this guy was a ceo, a member of the ruling class.
  
  People are dying en masse because of no healthcare dude, what the actual fuck

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.”

Lol, mods here be like "protected by satire, fuck you, TOS"

- "Profits? We deserve profits, right?"

🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽

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.
- Can't wait for more copycats tbh
  
  Maybe all these disgruntled shooters will finally take the hint.
- I sure af ain't saying we were wrong. I just have no power to do anything about it.
  
  You sure as fuck do. I'm still scared too though, it's ok.
  
  It's not those who partake it's the ones who took issue and thinks because we moved on after it got old we somehow gave into their protest.
- we have morals. That's what makes society strong. but to have our morals degraded and to have our government not only ignore our cries for help but to empower the villains that are attacking us.... what else are we to do?
  they didn't listen when we asked them to stop.
  they didn't listen when we begged them to stop.
  they didn't listen when we yelled at them to stop.
  they won't need to listen when we make them stop.

I'm surprised some execs didn't get a Delay Deny Defend graffiti on their doors.
- they're taking a page out of UHCs book and sent them in the mail.

Kinda reminds me of the time Ken McElroy was murdered in the middle of Skidmore Missouri during an altercation where most of the town was present and "nobody saw anything".

[Chuckles] "I'm in danger."

They all should be paying attention

I am kind alarmed at how many people are ok with murder.
- Me too. Millions of people murdered for greed.
- revenge killing is the #1 plot in popular fiction. I'd be alarmed if people didn't cheer.
  Wait, which murder are we talking about?
