Bro, I've just got to tell you. Everyone i knows is celebrating it. All of my close friends have been harmed by insurance madness, a machine built to extract money from the creation of human suffering, that's what denying claims for profit is. It's extracting money from pure pain. It's about as comically evil as you can get before you hit actual genocide, which just gives up the money part.Everyone i know is celebrating it. Our view is that these rich executives cannot be
This CEO, in particular, has almost certainly taken actions that resulted in preventable suffering and death.To some degree, that's the nature of running health insurance companies, but if he put profits ahead of patient outcomes, I think we could have a very reasonable discussion on the morality of letting people die at scale vs murder.
I think murder is an appropriate term. There is a long history of company leadership making decisions that they know will lead to the death of thousands of people. See tobacco, opiates, leaded gas and many others. And they are not trying to help people while being greedy but they are only greedy without being motivated to help people.
So deaths are OK as long as nobody profits from them?
is it actually extreme? how many deaths was the CEO responsible for by what they prioritized to make profit for shareholders?why is it extreme for the CEO to die, but not for hus customers?
I take issue with the title. Screwing some other corporate conglomerate is not worse than screwing people at risk of their lives.
Wouldn't make sense until you gave the same to the CEOs who actually kill people, like the creators of the opioid crisis
Don't you think it's fundamentally wrong to cause thousands of deaths every year for profit?
People dying, because cutting costs was considered more important than due diligence. Might doesn't make right.
Except if a bunch of people get killed, then you'll just look like a profiteering dick.
