“Journalists look for heroes and villains; life is not that simple. Why is the killer getting 10 times as much press as the person who was killed?”

I agree with the last part of this quote, but probably not in the same way they wanted.

Why aren't we hearing more about the policies the CEO supported that caused so much pain and suffering?

Why did I have to learn about them having double the industry-standard claims denial rate through a meme and not through news articles everywhere?

Why am I not seeing more articles about how much money these people made by denying coverage? Why am I not seeing articles about their political contributions to keep healthcare privatized?

Well, corporate America is made up of hardworking Americans who do their best to reward the investors, and many times those investors are pension funds

Ah yes, every day I wake up to go to work just to do my best to reward the investors. Not because I need to pay for living expenses, just because I love pleasing the investors.

JFC these people are living in a fantasy world.

This was a random killing by a mentally ill person. Let’s not turn a tragic incident into a trend. Most people don’t hate CEOs. They don’t care about CEOs. They have bigger issues to care about.

How fucking tone-deaf is this person? The bigger issues that we care about are things like going bankrupt from getting sick or injured. Those issues are directly caused by their CEOs. This wasn't a random killing, which is why people are so happy about it.

The "what does this say about society" question bugs the shit out of me. It means that our society is sick and tired of being the only rich nation in the world where getting sick or injured will bankrupt you. If these people were truly concerned about the good of society, they'd quit sucking us dry for every dollar that they can and would advocate for a better system.

The judge set her bail at $100,000, citing "the status of our country at this point".

So the judge is holding this lady personally responsible for the nation's sentiment towards healthcare companies?

You also have to recognize that Trump is proudly stupid and yearns to be loved. If he thinks one more person will like him for getting rid of vaccines, he'll do it.

This is definitely a case of a lie travelling around the world before the truth has put in its shoes. Personally, I only heard the story of the lacrosse players (allegedly) raping her and charges being dropped.

I, like many others, assumed the charges were dropped because wealthy kids had good connections. I never recall hearing that the story was made up, until now. Poor kids.

Lol he wanted to. Unfortunately for him, he was so stoked last night that even if he had a fever and was puking this morning, I would have been so suspicious that I'd have been like "what did you do to cause this?"

Aw man, I haven't had a chance to play yet. Is it good?

My son was not happy with me breaking this news to him right before bedtime on a school night. Mwahahaha
