    Addressing the problem with increased surveillance and beefed up security for executives is not addressing the problem. It’s exacerbating it.

    I don’t know if I would trust an American who doesn’t have a negative view of the health insurance industry

    So they’re monitoring everyone? Nothing new, they have been doing so illegally for decades. If only someone could inspire the masses to resist elite authoritarianism… Mario?

    Really the people should be monitoring insurance industry executives more often.

    For safety.

    It was to be expected but I didn’t think it would be public this soon

    I have a negative view of health insurance companies. In fact, I have a negative view of corporations, from the local mom-&-pops that underpay their employees and expect long hours, to Amazon. They all suck.

    But people who create policies that cause immense loss of life (and cost and destruction) are really asking for ten-plus times the vengeance that actually comes their way.

    I’m not interested in that vengeance since it won’t solve the problem, but I don’t begrudge those who suffer at their hands from wanting to kill them back.

      Average redditor comment: why did you post this article? obviously! this article is redundant.

      You can choose to not be like this, no one is forcing you to be like this.

      You can simply not comment if you don’t have anything that adds to the conversation to say, but upvotes to the left kind person.

        They don’t. I’ve met one person since that useless human got deleted that couldn’t understand why everyone was unsympathetic toward him. The person was very wealthy and has no understanding of how things are for the majority of people in the US. These people are really a lot like the french nobles before the french revolution.

          And there are also tons of people who take the sorta-centrist view that “no matter how bad the corporation’s acts, killing its ceo is wrong!!!” and only view using a gun against a black (now mexican/muslim bubba fetishes as well) ‘robber’ as valid self defense.

            Sure but this person wasn’t one of them. She was born into a wealthy family and has never wanted. for anything. There are plenty of these types around who would probably end themselves if they ever lost it all.

              I wasn’t contradicting you or trying to say that my assertion was the correct one about your example, just adding on to how many different ways we are deviating from the “so pretty much everyone” idea. I probably should have put in there how they don’t even look at the corporation’s acts as bad, justifying it in the typical ‘money is all that matters’ view commonly held, and that’s what truly guides their statements about killing of ceos.

    The desperation to intimidate people is palpable. This won’t work and the 1% will turn to dividing the people along racial and/or national lines.

    What can I say, if it works it works.
