The sad thing is that I am sure they will pass the cost onto the customers.
They systematically made millions of people fear for their lives. I'm glad shared that for a moment.
Keep them afraid.
Sounds like Luigi's perceived actions created jobs and fostered better health for the community at large.
Someone put this man in government
40x~$75$/hr = $3000/hr they're willing to spend instead of giving you insurance you paid for
Apparently they did start approving more right after it. And now they are getting sued by blackrock, a majority shareholder, for hurting profits. As much as I dislike these CEOs, the system breeds them to be this way. And there will always be more to take thier place. But holding them accountable will also mean that doing the right thing becomes good for the shareholders.
Alls I'm saying is you'd probably save more money paying out claims over hiring full time security for 40 different executives who cant help but deny claims
Its that thing, you know? You caused a problem and instead of fixing that problem you fix the next problem.
The issue is for profit healthcare. Instead of making the choice which would remove the executives from the crosshair, they decide adding bodies between us and them is the best option. Id assume those people care about their lives not ending, and the cheapest way to do that is to provide coverage to the people paying for it. $3000/hr is not just a throwaway expense, and that was a rough estimate erring on the extremely low end of private security.
I was simply spelling out how much they're willing to pay just for the privilege of denying healthcare to Americans. That's your money (hypothetically.) They would rather spend that money on defense forces than do their fucking jobs. I understand they are being sued by blackrock, but blackrock isn't the one creating a need for private security. Interesting choice is all I can say.
When you get to silly levels of wealth, it's less about the money and more about power. You're right that £3000/hr is an absurd amount to spend, and that suggests that they value the power they have within this inhumane system more than the monetary cost of private security.
So, the options are "not milking the sick for profit" or "getting bodyguards"
Why? Have they done something to make them feel like they were a target?
Good. They should live in constant fear.
Industrialized social murder should be a dangerous profession.
Fear must be new to them. Good.
Actor Brian Thompson must be worried a little too?
If your job requires armed professionals and costumes,you shouldn't be in business
So you're saying that whoever Luigi is taking the wrap for is a job creator?
Don't be giant greedy pieces of shit, you won't need body guards.
#MakeBillionairesFearAgain.
weeird that they felt comfortable nkt having them in the first place, society is healing
Luigi Mangione allegedly killed CEO????? Are we just dropping that now????
Well, the quote is from a district attorney, so they are pushing their narrative.
everyone knows he was framed and the feds did it.
Not everyone knows this, but everyone should suspect it.
Many people are saying it.
~~I believe that Luigi himself does not refute the act currently.~~
~~I might be wrong, but if Luigi isn’t refuting what he allegedly did then 🤷~~
I misremembered, he did plead not-guilty. I’d thought I read a legal theory of justified self defense as the strategy.
Where did you get that info? Or do you just hold water for healthcare CEO prosecutions for fun?
I was misremembering something I’d read before, but obviously yes it’s the other thing you’re saying.
So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?
Nah if literally murdering people for profit didn't stop them then really nothing will. These people are sociopaths that only see the career ladder.
Exec: Hey Claude, are we killing people?
ClaudeAI: Yes.
Exec: Are you sure? I think were doing great things for them, i don't see it as killing
ClaudeAI: Of course you aren't, you're doing great things!
They'll do anything to save themselves except for stop being evil.
Sometimes I wonder if those second-tier execs are even more culpable than the CEOs. Like, we expect CEOs to be psychopaths. But those second-tier guys that got a seat further down the table, off the back of a good degree and a few decades of hard work? They know what they're doing is wrong but choose to go along with it anyway because they're just following orders.
those golden parachutes awaiting them is just too addicting.
All these news reports saying that Luigi killed a guy or used a 3D printed gun. As far as I know, Luigi did none of those things and that that is for the courts to decide. Further, I’ve seen plenty of posts online of people saying that he was at the bar with them when the whole thing happened.
He was with me shooting skeet at that time.
I live in Belfast and I'm positive I seen him buying drinks in the red devil pub at that exact time. Right gerry?
Good. Something to consider when you're making life and death decisions for other people in the future.
He didn't kill anyone though. He's innocent.
I know it's uncooth to dehumanize anyone, but CEOs like Brian murdered (and the rest continuing to murder all day every day) more people than any serial killer in history because they oversaw automating the process of selling the confidence scheme and then murdering the marks when they threatened the profits of the confidence scheme when they got sick.
People like Jack the Ripper and Ted kaczynski were pathetic, inept hobbyists at mass murder next to an American "healthcare" ceo, and it isn't close.
And we don't hold them in even lower regard solely because they do it to get ever richer, which is the only practiced American religion.
As humans go, Brian was somewhere between a serial killer and an even larger scale mass murderer like Adolf Hitler in terms of his practiced inhumanity, maybe he should be dehumanized a little.
This post either needs to be removed or retitled. Luigi is not convicted and this perpetuates a huge problem in the US of assigning guilt to people through public opinion.
