It means more money in their paychecks.

Exactly, they even use AI algorithms to justifying their murder.

on their own employees? Does anybody else see a pattern here, or am I just another Cassandra with a satchel full of conspiracy theories that just might be real? I mean, we DO know a lot of these titans of capitalism all sit on each other's boards and hold similar stock portfolios.

They make a lot of money on 'dead peasants' one way or another.

he is now dead. i should have had one on him.

his son may now be the beneficiary. hope i outlive him as well.

I think if there was a concerted effort to call out the oligarchs and maybe sit ourside their houses, or jus follow then while they get coffee...not to do anything, just to shadow them enough... they could be running scared, ya think?

Or, like I said yesterday...this could be a whole new Anon. movement...just target the richest MFers and the ones who live their lives off the suffering of us all...

instead of uniting people against oligarchy? That IMO is their nightmare scenario.

the fuckin right to cheer. Who the fuck are you to be arbitrator of others perspective? And if I missed the joke in this, my bad.

They actually used an AI model that was known to have a 90% error rate to deny claims.

Abjectly morally depraved is about the kindest thing I can say about these folks...

even if they agree with you! We're all a little touchy these days.

believe that was the case. I just won’t take it or use it as fact myself without a source.

The medical profession is not at home with business values.

should not be a business.

up capitalism which is what we “enjoy”.

The capitalist system’s demand for continuous growth is destroying our environment. And quite obviously the system, in its current phase, is driving mass insanity and delusional behavior across the globe.

The system is broken.

This has resulted in some darkly amusing takes .

Fascism is when the state and corporate interests align. Just my opinion. Probably a lone wolf, but who knows.

But one can be glad that a message is going out that no one should play life and death for profit.

I can use other terms...

Abjectly morally depraved is about the most polite way I can express it.

We agree y'all!

Happy Friday...

Starting Jan 20 you will soon see how far the corps will go
to lie, cheat, & steal everything they can. If they do wipe-out
Obama care tens of thousands of low earners will be without
any coverage and many will die from treatable diseases.

Happy Friday from Caddo Parish y'all...

Laissez les bon temps rouler... don't let the bastards get ya' down!

Democrats tried over and over to introduce health care for all, but the GOP shot it down at every turn. They also managed to hobble the ACA.

If Kamala won, the ACA would be greatly expanded, driving down red tape and end user cost. But no. People voted in Trump.

But now, this death of an exploiting CEO awakened America to how bad our health care system is, and they don't mind one CEO died.

Of course, with the GOP's backing, nothing will change. Vote the GOP out, and things will...

There are some obituaries I read with greater pleasure than others.

I suppose I'm channeling my inner bolshevik.

As I and my honey watched a comedy series called 'Schitts Creek'... time and time again I could hear echoes of Twain throughout.

($2,500), denied coverage, had 4 months in a hospital and a nursing ing home and had
bills of a 1/4 million $s, and had nasty assistant nurses overnight who enjoyed being
shitty to him. And when he got home he had stacks of bills and collection agencies calling
him and since he wasn’t able to pay his target card monthly payment the card was canceled
and credit was trashed. Btw part of that shit really happened to me.

I missed the sarcasm in the op at first, but I've been set straight, and I'm deleting most of this post as a result.

I still stand by my conviction that people have the right to feel the way they feel (not just about this, but in general), and no one has the right to tell someone else how they "should" or "should not" feel. But that is not what this op was saying.

Carry on!

The other half is the abject depravity...

Employing an AI algorithm known to have a 90% error rate...

I can't believe I missed that!

Thanks for pointing it out. I've corrected the post accordingly.

In my own defense, I have seen a lot of finger shaking posts criticizing people's reactions to the murder, so I guess I was primed to overreact to something like this. Yeesh.

Heading out to our backyard hothouse to check on our babies...

There's Eggplants in 'them there' hoops...

He hah an aneurism that left him with no short term memory . he had
COPD and could not walk to the car without shortness of breath . Every year he had to reappply and be granted approval. I was his representative and conservator . Every year I would hold my breath for him to be reapproved. he died last year from throat cancer.. There would have been no way he could have paid for any of his medical treatments. When he first started his radiation treatments II had to sign an agreement if his insurance stopped paying, I would be responsible for his charges. I can see how people become so angry . the system is screwed up. .....No one should be left without healthcare.

... If that is shaudenfreude, or even pleasure at the downfall of an evil (morally compromised) man, so be it.

Puts dollars in insurance executives pockets.

I received several solicitations from United Healthcare this last go around asking me to enroll in their Medicare Advantage.

No thanks.

BUT, when a person who makes his living exploiting others who are sick and hurting succumbs, it IS hard to feel great sympathy.

I'm just out of fucks to give.

vulnerable people he and his company exploited.

Happy Friday y'all!

AI has no business deciding anything for anyone, least of all in a country that still doesn't have any laws on the book to regulate it. The existence of health "insurance" is already as joke as is, but AI takes it to another level.

The US is a joke.

It's more like hearing about a drug deal gone bad. They chose a business that traffics in misery and suffering for profit, and it ended poorly for them.

pre-existing condition. Too many guns.

Procedure not covered BTW.

Security detail for any exec type who treats the common people with disdain!

If you offer a service but then do a few twists to not provide that when the time comes, expect some backlash.

This is an extreme case of 'backlash', but it was going to happen sooner or later in a gun crazy country.

Someone instrumental with initiating protocols directly attributable to greatly increasing the pain and death of so many Americans who were already suffering, put himself in the crosshairs.

This was bound to happen sooner or later.

No one is advocating murder, however, actions have consequences. .

I reserve my sympathy for those patients rejected.

I don't think most people are celebrating, I think many don't give a damn and have more sympathy for folks who get rejected by insurance and die.

That's who I give a damn about. Worry about them.

....the normal reaction to the death of a very bad person into some kind of socially unnacceptable sadism uprising.

This situation is no different from the public relief when any other mass murderer is brought down by a civilian.
