Once again, the wrong lessons are being learnt. Close security just means a sniper nests somewhere. CEOs are not the president.

The lesson is - don't be a cunt.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

"This was preventable"

Like all of the illnesses that UHC and other insurers keep refusing to cover until it's too late?

[–] dual_sport_dork 39 points 1 week ago

Agreed. This was easily preventable by megacorporations not doing their level best to turn the world and everyone's lives in it into shit, simply for the sake of a few more dollars.

This is an ad for a private security company, not news.

Edit: It's also in poor taste, the guy hasn't even been buried yet.

That's the beauty of corporate trash, always there to rent seek

Once we find out grave location, we can take turns taking a piss on it lol

From the article, just so you know why this happened:

Threats against corporations have been rising for years, fueled in part by the echo chamber of social media and a more polarized political environment, according to security professionals.

🤡

You mean the social media the ruling class controls and the echo chambers they helped establish?

It was preventable. Entirely. By not having an algorithm deny 90% of health claims. By not denying people the right to health. By not profiting off of literally taking money from people to sometimes pay for sick people.

But no, actually, the problem is he didn't have personal security /s.

CEOs, We understand that you are going through a difficult time, but your claim for sympathy has been denied.

It was a pre-existing condition.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Life is a pre-existing condition.

I didn't choose it, but I suffer the same.

Same with the bipolar disorder and epilepsy.

American health care execs, as well as other CEOs need to realize that blood has been shed in the name of the people, not corporations.

I don't advocate for violence, but if these "dragons" start dying in the name of profits over life, I won't shed a tear when the millions who want to live sort out the trolley problem of capitalism themselves.

Also: Just because they aren't health insurance CEOs doesn't mean they haven't taken their own pound of flesh in the name of the all mighty dollar.

Security details are just going to draw more attention to you, and it will beg the question to the public why you feel you need one. Definitely not the lesson to learn from this....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That's why health insurance parasites decides against securit... Too much bad PR

Now they will have the security so we know how this cookie crumbles.

They opress us and they need security because they know that nobody cares if they get murdere, in fact it is a unifier

[–] inv3r510n 15 points 1 week ago

Time to get some drones. These assholes aren’t safe anymore. They hit a deep nerve and managed to unify an otherwise divided populace.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Zero questions showing ability to introspect. No one asking if perhaps the business model is messed up. No, let's spend some of our looted cash to hire more security.

[–] TheDemonBuer 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Violent public outrage could be a real boon for the private security industry. Probably a good time to invest. Maybe a good time to invest in gun sellers, too. Could be a civilian arms race. There's real profit potential in the collapse of civil society.

People keep saying Trump is bringing us into The Handmaid's Tale, but I think we're going to arrive at The Purge first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

civil society.

It already collapsed we just now finding this out

[–] whostosay 6 points 1 week ago

Crazy how even this thumbnail and the photo within the article have different color backpacks. So much for investigating journalism.

[–] mrfriki 3 points 1 week ago

This is inevitable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Ohh I am sorry pinkertons will have to get paid a high fee to protect your parasites

Sadly pedons will need pay the fee 🤡
