United Healthcare CEO fatally shot

[Jason]

Everyone else can have their gold stars for being good and righteous people. It’s fine. I would just ask that you also spare a little time to feel something for the people this guy killed for his shareholders.

This is my dilemma. Did he go about not giving a shit about the overall health of people under United Healthcare and only care about profit even at the expense of death? I struggle to believe this isn't the case.

And also, let's say everyone in the world knows for a fact that this is the case, big pharma and Healthcare CEOs are totally evil and for-profit only at the expense of the deaths of others. But nobody is doing anything about it and citizens are still forced to pay them money and die under their corruptions. How do you stop them? Writing letters? Protests? Violence?

These companies are so firmly embedded in our political system, I think the only non-violent means that *could* change anything would be a general strike, something that is kind of unthinkable in a society that mostly lives paycheck to paycheck.

Americans don’t have the stomach to leverage their labor. Compare that to the French, who are ready to burn Paris to the ground any time they want something to improve their lives. And it usually works.

Strikes are tricky and you'd need everyone on board for a big enough movement.

The problem with that is the young people today can't organize movements for shit. I mean just look at the epic fail that was the Occupy Wall Street crap. Even BLM and Me Too have been fails even though they started with some decent momentum. At least the movements in the 1960's got some shit accomplished.

The CHAZ garden was the best of all time. Lmao.

Keep in mind the consensus public reaction you’ll see online is far more celebratory than anything I’ve said. I just don’t give a shit. Take a look at Twitter, Reddit etc.

Public leaders in America should maybe take note of this.

twitter will find a way to celebrate any attack or murder.

the ceo guy was evil. i don't feel good justifying his death personally, all the same. and i do want the shooter to be apprehended or whatever else may occur. that kind of thing feels good in the movies. it doesn't feel good in real life. that's just my take.

Are you going to be actively bothered in your day to day life if they don’t find the shooter?

no. largely, i'll just live my life.

But there probably are murders that hypothetically would elicit that reaction from you, right?

When I first heard about the death of Brian Thompson, I immediately wanted to watch Cobra and Lionheart. It absolutely touched my day to day.

Gun thread talking about nuclear particle accelerators, dig it!

Non-radioactive hydrogen powered cars that won't ignite and cost essentially nothing.

I don't have a quarter of a million dollars to spend on my own particle accelerator though, and I'm sure I'd find some way to blow myself up despite using the deuterium version of hydrogen.

Mother of God, you've gone full woke nerd.

Both Harvey Weinstein and Diddy be shaking their heads wishing that were true right now.

Me Too worked to some extent. BLM was co-opted by bad faith actors who re-directed the movement for their personal benefit. It’s a little curious how many of the original BLM leaders turned up dead (murdered).

[Reign in Blood]

Of course MeToo worked, I'll never be able to properly enjoy a James Franco movie again, knowing he used his status and dirty sanchez stache to flog hot college students.

Except Your Highness. God do I love that stupid fucking movie.

I'm one of those in a celebratory mood. As you said, this guy's pretty much a serial killer in a suit. Fuck him. I'm supposed to care a weathly CEO gets shot?

I don't think it will change anything, but we can always hope.

You hate the United States.

I hate humans as a species.

Which of us is the greater evil?

Me Too was hijacked by some bad actors as well just not to the extent of BLM.

I'm not overly fond of humans, either, but since we're here, we might as all have the best life as possible.

I bet you two are a blast to take to charity events.

[Jigsaw]

Wouldn't need charity if we got rid of capitalism

[Reign in Blood]

That's right baby, you'll get whatever big daddy government wants to put under your tree. It's run by people not at all like our dearly departed CEO here.

But that won't ever happen because at our core we are terrible beings. We will kill this planet eventually which means we will be responsible for the genocide of every other lifeform that lives here.

They found the dude (most likely). Looks like he wanted to be caught. Apparently purposely acting weird at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania and a worker called the cops. He had a ton of shit on him that links him to the murder. But a conflicting report from the same article says the employee recognized him as the shooter. Lol. Wtf.

I'll send some money to his defense fund, should he choose to make one. A hero, as far as I'm concerned, and I hope more heroes like him rise up.

Was honestly hoping he got safely away to another country, though.

He comes from a very very very rich family. He won’t need it.
