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.

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.”?

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Exec: Hey Claude, are we killing people?

ClaudeAI: Yes.

Exec: Are you sure? I think were doing great things for them, i don't see it as killing

ClaudeAI: Of course you aren't, you're doing great things!

Luigi Mangione allegedly killed CEO????? Are we just dropping that now????

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Well, the quote is from a district attorney, so they are pushing their narrative.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

everyone knows he was framed and the feds did it.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not everyone knows this, but everyone should suspect it.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Many people are saying it.

Good. They should live in constant fear.

Industrialized social murder should be a dangerous profession.

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If your job requires armed professionals and costumes,you shouldn't be in business

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 34 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don't be giant greedy pieces of shit, you won't need body guards.

Keep them afraid.

The sad thing is that I am sure they will pass the cost onto the customers.

[–] Bouzou@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

They systematically made millions of people fear for their lives. I'm glad shared that for a moment.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

So, the options are "not milking the sick for profit" or "getting bodyguards"

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

So you're saying that whoever Luigi is taking the wrap for is a job creator?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

those golden parachutes awaiting them is just too addicting.

Good. Something to consider when you're making life and death decisions for other people in the future.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 6 days ago

I like how they say this as if it was a bad thing. As if the general public would have sympathy.

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

All these news reports saying that Luigi killed a guy or used a 3D printed gun. As far as I know, Luigi did none of those things and that that is for the courts to decide. Further, I’ve seen plenty of posts online of people saying that he was at the bar with them when the whole thing happened.

what these execs do to the American public is more worth of a terrorism charge than anything mangione ever did.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Why? Have they done something to make them feel like they were a target?

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 days ago

Did any of them repent of their sins against humanity?

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

allegedly killed CEO Brian Thompson. Let's not forget that rather important bit.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Imagine how bad a bodyguard you are to take that job.

[–] xeekei@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Fear must be new to them. Good.
