Once they are killing you in the streets and everyone is cheering, it is too late for striking a transparently false empathetic tone.

The idea that Witty, who earned $23.5 million last year alone and is a Brit literally knighted by the UK, would “understand” the struggle of any ordinary person is of course laughable.

Fuck

Lmao I don’t fucking believe that for a second. Get fucked, insurers.

Unnecessary middleman responsible for human suffering promises to produce the same amount of suffering while having a concerned look on his face.

It's typical CEO speak to write entire articles for the New York Times that say essentially nothing, promise nothing, and only give meaningless platitudes.

It isn't unique to just CEOs, all the C-levels do this shit. I once had a Chief Manufacturing Officer mention "creating Value" four times in one paragraph, which was pointless.

Only because they can't figure out how to deny paying the CEO's family for his life insurance benefits because murder isn't technically health care, yet

The kinder tone is just so it blows over. Then it remains the same, or at best crumbs are given for a while, to get worse again.

This is HORRIBLE! Why couldn't we just have Peaceful Protests that these SAINTS could Ignore?

If we want change then our only effective means are boycotts, strikes, and riots. The only languages our oppressors understand are money and physical violence.

Murdering a CEO is an individual riot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They care much more about a CEO getting capped than riots. Riots don't affect them or even have the potential to theoretically affect them.

Boycotts and strikes can work, but they'd have to be much bigger than what's happened so far.

Tell me you didn't bother to finish reading without telling me...

I know, maybe instead of a PR blitz they could spend that money on properly serving their customers!

When they literally feel pain I may be a little mollified.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I mean, they don’t feel it. Yet…

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I feel their pain with every CEO shot. Thoughts and prayers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Fuck you. Pay me.

Remember Remember the 4th of December, the day a CEO got dropped. I see no reason why the vigilante season should ever be forgot

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I believe them. I also believe Trump will lower grocery prices. And the moon landing was faked. And there's dragons.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

May they feel much pain.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

No, they don't. But, hopefully, they will.
