What I learned is that Kaiser actually has the lowest denial rate? Maybe the King did come for him...
plus families
Yeah, I think it's more likely that it was someone whose loved one was denied care instead of someone who was denied care themself.
Got to be a kill count up there with some pretty big dictators.
Oh no! I really hope this doesn't start happening to all of the CEOs and board members that make a profit off of legally killing people
The thing that is entirely possible coming out of this is a boon for PMCs getting hired for far more visible corporate security. Hotels and roads shut down for CEOs as if they are heads of state. I guess it was inevitable and cyberpunk really is just life imitating art
So next stage are roadside IED?
I’m not gonna tell you how to do your job
Nah, Ukraine has already shown the world how regular consumer grade drones can be used as very effective military grade weapons. No need for a roadside IED when you can fly the IED right to their face.
Yeah the second amendment crowd is about to go hard on drones to ensure their saviors remain safe. Weird how they are the first ones in line at school shootings about how guns aren’t the problem but they’re being pretty quiet about a dude shooting a guy across the street using a silenced pistol
Probably because the hatred of health insurance companies is universal? It’s not like they deny claims based on who you voted for.
..yet
True. Let’s not give them any ideas…

There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

It’s unfortunate this is the reality that people are living with. Events like this will become more frequent if the billionaire class doesn’t do something about it.
Oh no. I hope they don't keep getting submarined!
Has consequence culture gone too far?
In today's world people should be afraid to flaunt their wealth, pursue these big positions. There's so much inequality, I wouldn't want to be the one to have all the goods. I dont condone murdering people for it, we should eat them instead.
So eat them alive then?
No we feast on their money while they get to serve it up voluntarily to stay clear of the guillotine.

They’ll do something about it alright, like pushing for further militarization of the police, increased government latitude to spy on civilians, and restrictions of what kinds of weapons we’re permitted to own.
Yeah this is just the precursor to cyberpunk (both the genre and the franchise) where corporate CEOs move with militarized armed escorts and have free reign to control areas and traffic where they see fit
Which will really drive hatred and show the wage slaves exactly who owns their country. Could backfire spectacularly.
It's like a textbook example of justice being served one way or the other, if not in orderly respectable fashion then in an abrupt violent fashion.
Society failed them both.
Society failed them both.
I'd say society did pretty well by the CEO. It was unrelenting greed and placing profits over people that got him to his end. That's on him.
I think they mean that society, in its money worship, failed the guy killed. He obviously valued money over lives and he learned that somewhere.
I think so too, but I disagree. No one is forced into a CEO lifestyle or profit-above-all mindset. I feel like that's pretty much on him. Echoing a comment I saw elsewhere - my empathy is out of network for this guy.
As an aside I would say capitalism failed them. Society has existed and failed and evolved since people realized it was beneficial to work together. But that basic byline has always existed with those exploiting others. Roman society failed, feudal society failed, the first version of the US failed as a society, so on and so forth. In this lens, the version of society that failed is capitalism, or probably in this case late-stage capitalism
