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.

[–] Bouzou@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

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

Keep them afraid.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

Good. They should live in constant fear.

Industrialized social murder should be a dangerous profession.

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

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 311 points 3 days ago (10 children)

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.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 117 points 3 days ago

Defense has brought it up multiple times already, it's biasing the jury pool

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.

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 2 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.

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

"Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson"

Objection, baseless speculation.

He didn't kill anyone though. He's innocent.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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?
