Hello! So two things:
-
I would like to have a discussion about the UHC CEO killing and if it is at all any different than the ~45 murders a day in the USA…(other than the obvious “he was rich” one). -Typical Christmas family get together brought this up as a topic and was curious about the different perspectives. Argument made by others was “this sets a bad precedent”, and the response was “how is this any different than someone getting murdered for literally any reason”. Hate, lust, money, your car…whatever the motivation, how is this any different?
-
Is there a better location to post said discussion topic?
I mostly lurk Lemmy, so not really sure how to find the correct communities for said topic.
Thanks!
Would you kill a mass muderer? Because that’s what an insurance CEO is. I’d argue the existenc3 of any millionaire CEO begets mass social murder
Its called an execution, not a murder. A murder is a crime.
This was murder. It was a crime.
Seems like most people recognize it was a justified execution of a criminal.
Can’t murder a cockroach. Or a mosquito. Or a leach, or a bedbug, or a flea. You exterminate those.
We’re talking about a human being.
We’re talking about a being that causes untold suffering for profit. Aka, a bloodsucker.
Except that’s false because he did not murder anyone (that we know of). Be angry at the system and the government allowing it to exist not the ones using it as intended. Much of what I see here is jealousy of millionaires and virtue signalling instead of people truly suggesting change. Anyone here can start any business, go start a fair insurance business, no one’s preventing you, and that will actually help the issue instead of crying online
There are actually very high barriers to entry in the insurance and health care markets (which in the USA are tightly intertwined).
The health insurance industry doesn’t want there to be fair alternatives because then everyone would buy that instead. This is an oligarchy, not a democracy.
“Go start a fair insurance business”
I cannot fathom how you can believe what you are writing.
I can only say one thing: be the change you want to see. Nothing is going to change if nobody bothers doing anything
I’m liking the change I’m seeing: fewer CEOs.
This has got to be the most armchair comment I’ve seen all year
You don’t get out very often.
