It’s one thing to mock it on pseudonymous platforms like Reddit and the fediverse.
It’s another to do it somewhere linked to your real name and job like LinkedIn.
People really hate insurance companies.
“United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s final KD ratio (7,652,103:1) lands him among the all time greats,” a thread deleted by r/interestingasfuck moderators said.
By definition, none of the kills are his. They're all assists.
Still pretty impressive ratio though
I would pay for that to be his grave stone
It only costs one bottle of spray paint
They’re gonna have to put this dipshit’s grave on private property.
What I like about this moment is that the people who ought to be fearful are indeed the ones who are fearful. I mean shit, Elon is posting Tweets about how great CEOs are actually, health insurance companies are removing pages from their websites that identify leadership, it's a lovely little pocket of schadenfreude where we can all take a breath and prepare for the next 4 years.
I like the idea that they've got billions of dollars, but will have to live in a windowless bunker eating beans.
They couldn’t even hunker down in their mansions for two weeks of Covid lockdown.
They like to fantasize about it, but the reality of living like that will hit them fast.

This guy was willing to do it for free. Imagine if there was a bounty.

Went to the post, posted a laughing emoji. I'm French.
I couldn't help but notice Blue Cross rescinded its very dangerous policy placing a time limit on anesthesia the day after the murder.
I don't want a reign of terror, but perhaps just a little bit of terror will have CEOs thinking they could be next when considering especially harmful policies.
Finding out after you've fucked around isn't terror.
Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist. This guy's a vigilante.

In France, during the Nazi occupation in WW2, a few people turned to the Resistance movement which was also a terror operation: they would target military objectives but also conduct assassinations of nazi officials designed to inspire fear in the others and spark support in the population.
Technically they didn't fully rescind it. They rescinded it in some places but not others, and for some patients but not others. It's just PR, they have no intention of actually changing things.

Stop struggling and accept that lots of people are ok with advocating violence against evil people.

I'm telling ya, this is the beginning of A Christmas Carol. The ghost of Thompson needs to visit his colleagues and warn them you too, shall die, and no-one will mourn you and the people will celebrate in the streets. And all your friends will tear into your assets like vultures into carrion.
Heck, replace the ghosts with mobsters and use a trick of time rather than supernatural spirits, and you have a 21st century version of the story.
Thank fuck Lemmy isn't owned by corporate interests that need other corporate interests to advertise on them or it'd be happening here, too.
.world does it voluntarily.
This is the top post on all of Lemmy right now and it's in a .world community.

I think this is as funny as the next person but realistically what will change?
Won't they just elect another scumbag and keep going?
At least some health insurance companies are temporarily easing up on denials or pausing shitty policies like limiting anthensia coverage during surgery.
That alone could save a few hundred lives, even if just for a little while.

It's bi-partisan too. Which makes this infinitely more insane
Weird, isn't it, like there's some vast wellspring of support a political party could have tapped into by doing literally fucking anything but defending the status quo.
It's almost like the uniting factor of the people is class. I feel like there was a historical figure once, who was assassinated for trying to pivot from race to class because the government saw the danger of a united population.
Every other cause is a distraction from that one.

Man, this shit just keeps being funny. The longer it stays funny, the better it affects all involved.
