"Now is not the time to focus on solutions to CEO shootings, we're thinking and praying, and then we just need to move on... As then it won't be time to look in the past."

Don't do violence

This wasn't violent. It was calm and deliberate and it really seems like what Brian wanted with how he led his life. Seems like a lot of other CEOs of insurance companies and other hyper predatory industries are likely a bit jealous of Brian getting the result they all seem to be aiming for with their own calm, deliberate actions in life.

Also, the stock went up, so weird that we aren't really celebrating the boost to shareholder value - again, this was the endeavor that Brian committed his life to. He'd be overjoyed to have made an additional $7million on paper for man also worth $14 billion in family wealth.

Did you think it was easy for Brian to sign the death warrants of tens/hundreds of thousands of people? Through a lot of indirect action and often while enjoying a very lovely omikase sushi lunch with a different chef flown in from Kyoto each day to prepare? No. It wasn't easy. But you know what, he rolled his sleeves up and he did it, because that's just the kind of man he was until he was shot in the back of the head.

Hope you all have a good day at work today with your own decisions, remaining CEOs, board members of predatory industries and random billionaires. We know you'll stay focused on doing the most valuable thing with your time today

Because he was the CEO of a health insurance company.

We've been given bread and circuses in a way they didn't have.

Call that number and every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person's name was Brian Thompson.

Weird timing.

But come out to the street here though, we'll talk it over some more...

People are saying he wasn't murdered, he just dropped to the ground alone, nobody in the street with him. There's even video, nobody is there...

Guy I worked with when younger, at a restaurant, primarily a Spanish speaker. He kept telling me that another one of our co-workers "won the race"... I had no idea what he was talking about. "He win the race, he win it!"

What race? Eventually he expands to say it was easier to say in Spanish, but basically if there was a race to be fat and ugly, this guy would win that hypothetical race.

He was very pleased with himself.

Authors are former a wall street journal and a NY style section meme article writer... "what ever happened to the "I like corn" kid?"

Makes sense that it's both apologetic trash giving cover for capitalism and an overall shit product from a basic journalism perspective.
