what these execs do to the American public is more worth of a terrorism charge than anything mangione ever did.
Sounds like Luigi's perceived actions created jobs and fostered better health for the community at large.
Someone put this man in government
40x~$75$/hr = $3000/hr they're willing to spend instead of giving you insurance you paid for
Apparently they did start approving more right after it. And now they are getting sued by blackrock, a majority shareholder, for hurting profits. As much as I dislike these CEOs, the system breeds them to be this way. And there will always be more to take thier place. But holding them accountable will also mean that doing the right thing becomes good for the shareholders.
The sad thing is that I am sure they will pass the cost onto the customers.
They systematically made millions of people fear for their lives. I'm glad shared that for a moment.
Keep them afraid.
Good. They should live in constant fear.
Industrialized social murder should be a dangerous profession.
Oof he isn’t convicted but the media isn’t saying “allegedly” in headlines for him. Shows how they’re trying to sway public opinion.
Defense has brought it up multiple times already, it's biasing the jury pool
Was it supposed to be a direct quote from the DA? Even if so, it shouldn’t be in the headline.
So, the options are "not milking the sick for profit" or "getting bodyguards"
I like how they say this as if it was a bad thing. As if the general public would have sympathy.
If your job requires armed professionals and costumes,you shouldn't be in business
after Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson
Has he already been convicted?
Terrible headline, but I can only guess that "Business insider" would rather defend a corrupt CEO than the victim of insurance hell.
Luigi Mangione allegedly killed CEO????? Are we just dropping that now????
This post either needs to be removed or retitled. Luigi is not convicted and this perpetuates a huge problem in the US of assigning guilt to people through public opinion.
So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?
Nah if literally murdering people for profit didn't stop them then really nothing will. These people are sociopaths that only see the career ladder.
Don't be giant greedy pieces of shit, you won't need body guards.

"Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson"
Objection, baseless speculation.
So you're saying that whoever Luigi is taking the wrap for is a job creator?

He didn't kill anyone though. He's innocent.
I know it's uncooth to dehumanize anyone, but CEOs like Brian murdered (and the rest continuing to murder all day every day) more people than any serial killer in history because they oversaw automating the process of selling the confidence scheme and then murdering the marks when they threatened the profits of the confidence scheme when they got sick.
People like Jack the Ripper and Ted kaczynski were pathetic, inept hobbyists at mass murder next to an American "healthcare" ceo, and it isn't close.
And we don't hold them in even lower regard solely because they do it to get ever richer, which is the only practiced American religion.
As humans go, Brian was somewhere between a serial killer and an even larger scale mass murderer like Adolf Hitler in terms of his practiced inhumanity, maybe he should be dehumanized a little.
Why? Have they done something to make them feel like they were a target?
They'll do anything to save themselves except for stop being evil.
Sometimes I wonder if those second-tier execs are even more culpable than the CEOs. Like, we expect CEOs to be psychopaths. But those second-tier guys that got a seat further down the table, off the back of a good degree and a few decades of hard work? They know what they're doing is wrong but choose to go along with it anyway because they're just following orders.
If that's terrorism then what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?
If they want to have a discussion about labels, it's not gonna go well in front of a jury.
At every step defense should be asking the jury:
If you had been killed, would this be happening? Why are lives valued differently
