It's such a weird place to be.
We are all trying to be respectful. A person has died, and that is a horrible thing. But this guy runs a company that has cause so much suffering to so many people. He may not be directly responsible for pain, suffering, and likely death, but if he had run his company more fairly, none of that would have happened.
When people made jokes about trump nearly getting killed, people kicked off and said it was abhorant to wish death upon him (despite him being a foul human being)
But I really want to just say this guy deserves it and tell people to fuck off trying to make me be respectful of this terrible person.
Somebody validate my anger.
Somebody just tell me i can hate this individual and not be bothered that he died.
Fuck that dude. You can be happy when bad people die. It's normal to laugh and even cheer when someone that has caused the death of many people gets what is due to them. You just feel odd about it because we aren't used to seeing rich and power people face consequences.
I wish more of these public and mass shooter actually use their energy and focus on a positive act for change. Our collective empathy has been stolen in this current system. We aren't supposed to bat an eye when kids get shot in school, but NOW it's a problem and we shouldn't joke. Fuck off with that noise.
I work at a children's hospital, a couple times a week United Healthcare denies treatment that could allow some of my pediatric patients with severe mobility issues to do things like run, or play outside with their friends. All because having a somewhat normal life isn't medically necessary, or isn't a covered benefit, or were not a preferred provider....and the nearest in network provider is 6 hours away.
Every time I have to explain to a parent that Medicaid would have paid for this, but mom and dad worked a little too hard and so they don't qualify for state care.... I die a little on the inside.
So I for one don't really care about being respectful, and can reassure you that you shouldn't feel the need to either. People who show no humanity towards disabled children are not human in my book.
Today has been cathartic and I'm going to have a little pep in my step on my walk home.
Its because Republicans made healthcare suck on purpose
They're in cahoots. Corporations wrote and paid for the laws those "representatives" passed.
think of it this way: The dude caused a TON of death. The assassin saved people's lives.
More like avenged. The next CEO probably won't change things.
America has more bullets than psychopaths.
He already changed things. Anthem BCBS decided to drop limiting anesthesia during surgeries. They were planning on implementing it next year, but now decided to drop it for some reason.
Not even the same company and he made some changes.
Will the next CEO be bullet proof?
well there can't be more CEO in line than the amount of deaths the company caused
I have as much sympathy for him as his company has shown me
Speak for yourself, I and many others are doing our best to make it clear we offer 0 respect at all
I already have been called evil for simply not having any empathy toward this man. Apparently there are some that believe even the worst people deserve empathy despite being shown time and time again they don't care about the sick and dying over making a profit. I never advocated for violence or murder, I never cheered or claimed more should die. But I'm the evil one for not caring about this guy somehow. I honestly don't know if humanity has a chance with all of this corporate dick sucking.
It is because they are insulated from the damage these people leave in the wake of "doing their jobs". If I or you sent their family into financial ruin by extorting their health/existence they'd be whistling a different tune.
my only concern is that this will embolden trumpers attacking libs.
Most of us couldn’t care less about this guy! I for one thinks he deserved it and let this be a warning to other corps doing the same shit! The people have to take the power back and I support these actions!
