This is stupid because I have not seen one comment from anyone other than other CEOs that is not celebrating his death.

[–] SmilingSolaris 59 points 6 days ago (3 children)

That's the point. You did it. You discovered the discrepancy. No one cares and Infact we are celebrating. However the police are pumping money into mass manhunt, news is juicing the story nonstop. 10k reward for info. Obviously the powers that be care and care a lot that a CEO got shot. You don't. I don't. And yet by time it's over, hundreds of thousands of dollars will have been spent in man-hours hunting this guy down. An amount of money that would be ridiculous if you or I got shot. No one would care. But a CEO? nYPD pulling out every stop they got.

10k reward for info

Which is frankly hilarious. UnitedHealthCare group grossed $90 billion in the last 12 months and they are offering only a $10,000 reward for help finding the assassin. I bet their next CEO gets 10 to 100 times that much in just a signing bonus.

They probably spent 2mil on researching what amount of money would be enough to engage people without having to give poors a chance at real money.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

They even cut corners when offering rewards.

why do I feel like flooding the reward info line with false information like we always do with the abortion manhunt forms.

10k reward for info.

Isn't that standard for info on a murder? I feel like I've heard this before. Maybe it's usually "up to" 10k. Idk.
