this is good more of this please
Also add Elon, please.
he'd probably just be like : "See? I AM wanted! Take this mom and dad!"
Wow, I really feel like I should be clutching my pearls over the fact that this is what it's come to.
On the other hand...
Just like cops, these folks have earned every bit of hatred coming to them from the public. Even now they continue to pad their own bank account at a staggering rate on the deaths and misery of their fellow man.
If I were a healthcare executive with a conscience (lol I know), or even a healthcare executive with an adequate fear response, I'd resign tomorrow. (Or maybe yesterday?) I guarantee any of these folks has enough wealth to exceed the typical US lifestyle for the rest of their natural lives without having to take any more money for denying care to their fellow citizens. They can pack their shit, never work another day, and still spend the rest of their lives with less stress and greater financial security than my family ever will. There's literally nothing stopping them.
And if their "Type A" personality just can't let them spend multiple decades of their lives just relaxing with their family and enriching their inner self, they have a great resume to get a job at an industry that doesn't profit from the death and pain of their fellow citizens.
Healthcare is the target now but who’s next?
Nope, insurance is finance. They don’t actually provide health care services.
Calling insurance healthcare is journalistic malpractice. Get better at your craft or get shit on.
"forcing leaders to ask themselves uncomfortable questions about their own preparedness for a threat landscape that appears far more serious than many realized just a week ago."
It's probably even more serious than they think it is right now too.
In fact, all I see are talks of securing these executives. And as the article points out, security is a sunk cost. There is no financial gain. That means as security gets more expensive, they will have to weigh how to afford it versus the problems they cause.
Fear isn't the word I think we want though, fear seems too normal. Terror sounds closer to what they likely need to feel before things get better.
This is exactly my thought. C-levels are going to want competent security and not Rent A Cops, which costs. Companies which provide those services already charge a decent chunk of change for it, and the rates will likely go through the roof now. Additionally, I think they'll find that these "security consultants" will suggest absolutely unacceptable lifestyle changes for them to minimize areas of concern. Much easier to secure a house than a whole nightclub, or golf course.
Also, I am assuming a lot of grade A security are SOF types who fought in two stupid wars on behalf of owner class.
Makes you wonder how a person like that would feel about a dead parasite him or her self
Hmmm
Would they really care to take a bullet for a parasite?
There is really no way to tell, sadly.

“There are reports that girls are fawning over this guy. This level of notoriety risks triggering copycats. And let’s face it, some business leaders are ~~vulnerable~~ complete fucking ass bags”
Fixed that for em
If somebody's got the itch and just has to go shoot up something this is a way, way better thing to copycat than school shooters.
Amazing how we all can agree on this one simple thing....
Clean denial of claim to life to executives is socially acceptable
There's a lot of angry lonely men out there.
If there's anything that will motivate someone to kill it's the potential that women might give them attention.
Probably more fear from seeing how the public at large has reacted.
I mean, when you've been actively supressing wages for decades so that you can keep your employees in debt to make them more subservient, you also kind of create a powderkeg of resentment and ill will. They really thought there would never be a spark?
Good, good.
🤏🎻😭
I. Love. It.
Hahahah this is amazing.
As scared as someone denied necessary medical therapy, surgery, prescriptions?
Good!
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction!
I'd like to be completely non violent but headlines like this make it really hard
