Sweet unmerciful fuck. This has blown up way beyond what it should have. A few things to shut up the pearl clutches:
-
Generally speaking people don't have problems with business OWNERS. Sure you're technically a CEO but that's like asking why a tomato isn't in a fruit salad.
-
No one is really operating under the MO of offing all CEOs everywhere just because they took the job.
-
You're absolutely right, not all CEOs are bad. Some still look at their employees and see valued assets that they invest in and grow. And they'll never make the news.
-
If you oversaw your company creating an algorithm that literally put weighted values to people's lives and then denied them coverage that they were confirmed to be eligible for through the programs that they pay you money for while also when being pointed out that this algorithm inaccurately denies people their coverage and has caused actual documented deaths....then if you're going to play at that table with people's lives don't look shocked when it's your turn to ante up.
Which side are you on?
On the side against those that mistreat the public trust in either their business or administration.
You won't do shit. Memes are fun to post and it's fun to pretend that you're dangerous, or brave or some kind of revolutionary but you personally won't do anything other than post memes online.
For all the bolsterous talk on the internet, there hasn't really been any serious action except maybe people buying fewer Teslas and even that's mostly outside of the US. No other Luigis, no riots, nothing in the real world. Just barking at other dogs online safely behind a fence.
You’re not wrong, but you’re ignoring the reasons why. This moment was hand crafted by the ones in power - literally everything you suggested would put your average American, who is living paycheck to paycheck, out on the street.
Or cancel their direly needed health insurance. Or get their work transportation repo’d. Or etc or etc or etc.
You honestly expect people to blindly throw their lives away? You want real action, start organizing it yourself, so these people who want to fight but can’t have a network to rely on.
You ok man? You need someone to talk to?
Well, says you anyway.
