This fella shot the CEO of UnitedHealthcare (An American health insurance company) dead in the street in NYC yesterday.

I wouldn’t call it cold blooded, the CEO was cold blooded. The shooter presumably only murdered one person, the healthcare CEO was undoubtedly a mass murderer.

Insurance companies do not offer a service. There is no value other than to share holders. I had to explain to my daughter that it is literally illegal for a CEO to do the right thing if it will cost shareholders. They leach profits by being an unnecessary middleman and finding every loophole they can so they don’t have to actually do the thing they say they exist for.

I mean, there are huge problems with American health care companies and insurance in general will always tend towards being a scam unless it’s extremely heavily regulated, but at a fundamental level insurance does offer a service (that of socializing the cost of extreme losses), and while executives do have fiduciary duties, the idea that they always have to pursue short term profit no matter what from a legal standpoint, is overblown and exaggerated.

What a cesspit this site is.

Turns out that looting millions of people’s healthcare for profit and ruining a large subset of their lives doesn’t garner you any sympathy. Crazy how that works.

You don’t have to like the guy or his job to think that he shouldn’t be gunned down in the fucking street.

I don’t really celebrate murder, but I’m certainly not gonna mourn the loss of someone responsible for many preventable deaths bcz they wanted a bigger paycheck.

Completely agree, but lots of folks here are cheering for what amounts to cartel style street assassination.
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I think the latter is fine, but there’s lots of active celebration going on.

I wouldn’t go that far but I do block users that post this shit.

It’s the irony that people complain about Reddit being full of hate and one of the reasons they left, and yet Lemmy is full of shit like this.
