Im glad every time I im reminded when that CEO died. I'd like more of that warm feeling.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 82 points 3 months ago

I hope that heartless, sociopathic pile of shit had time before he lost consciousness to feel as alone and confused and scared as he made so many hundreds of thousands of people feel to line his pockets with more money than he'd ever know what to do with.

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 3 months ago

The ceo caused the prolonged distress of tens of thousands of people, that is far longer than a normal lifespan.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 129 points 3 months ago

he took

Oh really? Where's his conviction?

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 3 months ago

And I don’t even know this guy. No way I’d recognize any of these people from a jury box.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 91 points 3 months ago

who did nothing to him

Except deny him medical care and put him into a massive medical debt.

[-] Azteh@lemmy.world 37 points 3 months ago

But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Except the president has much less control over gas prices than an insurance CEO has control over their half of the deal.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yes... Fascist Idiocracy be like it do.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, they will say all kinds of funny and/or dangerous shit when their definition of rational and logical argument is “the one that produces my answer.”

[-] don@lemmy.ca 82 points 3 months ago

I find that those who cry most about wokeness are those most infected with the broke mind virus.

[-] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 56 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus". Empathy requires continual effort to maintain your commitment to the well-being of others, something that's more and more challenging these days.

But abandoning empathy? Giving yourself over to fear, greed, and hatred requires no effort or commitment, and the longer you maintain such a vile, poisonous state of mind, the more you become such in such a perspective.

But, as we know, projection projection projection 😝

[-] don@lemmy.ca 32 points 3 months ago

Their abandonment of empathy is perhaps the greatest reason why I revile them.

A mentality of fear, superiority, bravado, main character syndrome, otherism (a fear of altruism), superstition, religious indoctrination, paranoia, the lost cause…

even conservative immigrants are in the find out phase. Broken minds.

Be woke, or be broke. All my homies respect trans rights, and personal pronouns.

One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus".

At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.

[-] EldritchFeminity 3 points 3 months ago

Studies have shown that conservatives have smaller areas of the brain related to a sense of empathy on average compared to others. It could be said that they are outright physically less capable of feeling empathy compared to the rest of the population.

How dare you cheer on the alien from "Alien" dying at the end of the movie. She was a mother!

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 months ago

Just a single mother trying to feed her kids. smh

[-] frezik 18 points 3 months ago

Ripley was an anchor baby.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

If you're talking about the Powerloader/Queen fight, that was the second one.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Aliens, that s is very important and it actually conveys a lot about what the movies are about.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Exactly, they're about why the fuck did they write out Newt

All this whole CEO murder thing is is an effective application of Reagan's "Trickle Down" economics...

You make... cuts... at the top, and things get better for everyone else.

Are you telling me Reagan was too "woke" for today's conservatives!?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

Maybe he meant it was some Scott Pilgrim style trickle down. When you shoot a healthcare CEO, they explode into an avalanche of coins for the people to collect.

[-] Guidy@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

I was a child when I lost a parent to cancer. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that it occurred to me to wonder whether or not they’d have lived if we’d had health insurance. And this was decades ago. Of and years after that before I thought about what if we’d had universal healthcare.

Fuck all ceos. Also private equity.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

A dad, like I'm supposed to care that this guy nutted in some skank.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I'd be a dad..

If I got paid fair wages for my labor, had the means to care for a family and my partner was able to access modern reproductive care.

All things that health insurance companies deny people as a business model.

[-] msprout@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Didn't Jack Posobiec get caught cheating on his wife? And he's trying to lecture me on family values?

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 months ago

He was doing her a favor so obviously yes jk

[-] vane@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024, according to Wallmine.

Oh no millionaire left his fortune for kids that won't see him again and can do anything they want. Looks like Richie Rich movie start scene.

[-] TurtleMelon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 months ago

The only thing sad about Thompson's death is how quick it was.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 months ago

While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.

Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.

[-] FragrantGarden@lemmy.today 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Insurance also tried to kick me off and deny coverage because of a cancer diagnosis as a child. My poor mother. 👨‍🔧

[-] Zink@programming.dev 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Anti-Luigi posts only serve to illustrate the underlying fatal flaw with our culture in the US. It’s a flaw with humanity, sure, but we seem to specialize in it. To wit:

Violently hurting another person, or even stealing their stuff, is inexcusable. The only exceptions are life and death situations.

Destroying the lives of many people indirectly in pursuit of money, however, is just an unfortunate fact of life. Cause and effect is apparently irrelevant as long as the CEO isn’t literally throwing rocks at them as he pours their insulin down the drain.

The fact that he allegedly took his life on behalf of others who had been screwed over by him despite having no personal grievance with him makes it more commendable.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 months ago
[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 14 points 3 months ago

Remember, EW is a Polish Nazi.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 months ago

Heydrich had 4 kids. It doesn't matter, he deserved to die.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Plenty of horrible men had kids who damn well deserved better fathers.

[-] FriendlyN3rd 5 points 3 months ago

didnt he also have like crazy back pain or smth and was denied???

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Does Luigi know where "End Wokeness" hangs out? Asking for a friend
