Like look at the UHC CEO who just got shot in broad daylight. The company wasn't even willing to spring for good security for a guy who metaphorically put a noose around countless people's necks.

Apparently that decision was made for PR purposes. They do not want pictures out there of daddy CEO being escorted by goons everywhere while they deny claims to dying children and grandmas.

I wonder why that would make them look bad lol
