"dedicated and mission-driven leader who loved connecting people to our shared purpose"

That's doublespeak for...?

[-] Dagamant@lemmy.world 71 points 3 weeks ago

It’s nothing speak. It’s a lot of words that give no information.

"Dedicated and mission driver leader" could mean asshole. "Loved connecting people to our shared purpose" could mean getting fellow greeds making sure the bean counters are happy.

[-] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

Charles Manson loved connecting people to his shared purpose.

If this is the best that could be said of them then they must have been a total and utter bastard.

Linkedin in a nutshell.

“dedicated and mission-driven leader who loved connecting people to our shared purpose”

Perfectly accurate description of Jeffrey Epstein.

Worked hard. Did wat we wanted

Blackstone is a private equity firm though, not healthcare.

Still a CEO, so high partial credit.

[-] uriel238 17 points 3 weeks ago

Private Equity is super evil, and uses business law loopholes in order to make sinkholes out of large companies, leaving the debt for the state to manage when the insolvent company goes bankrupt.

Right now all the AAA game development companies are getting the private equity treatment.

Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP candidate for President, was president of Bain Capital, a private equity company.

UHG isn’t healthcare, either, fwiw.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Arguably isn’t health insurance, either.

Nick was one Lex Luthor looking dude.

I am a bad person.

I kinda hope the hits are connected, and not just a series of coincidences.

But then after the November 24 general election, I kinda hoped there was overwhelming evidence of election fraud, as I want to believe 77 million Americans are not that unprincipled / credulous / bigoted.

I want the ownership class worried.

We all really, really want to believe that there are more powerful forces in the world, that there's a "deep state" as well as bands of well-equipped and dedicated people fighting them. It's why the Q-anon movement took off, people just desperately want to believe that there's something out there bigger than the bullshit we see on the news every day.

The sad, horrible truth is that the reality behind the screens and stories is even stupider and more random than it even looks. There is nobody in charge, there are no powerful people pulling strings, there's just a lot of really wealthy children who try different things until something works, and random people who sometimes stop them in one form or another.

I think genuinely that if the average citizen of any developed nation really understood how adrift our species was, they would be terrified beyond anything else we imagine as threats to our lives and futures.

Nobody is in charge. Nobody is coming. We're on our own forever.

[-] uriel238 4 points 3 weeks ago

I know. This XKCD is from the 2013 government shutdown.

I get it's wishful thinking, and while I can appreciate ~~conspiracy theories~~ fringe hypotheses, I don't believe them to be true (unless it eventually comes out that they are).

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

If they were all connected (i.e. if it were a small group of rebels doing it), it would be easier for the powers that be to stop them.

It's a screenshot from a non federated social media. They have to avoid using most all words or the robots will hide or delete them.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Nu uh, can't say nobo words

It's unfortunate that, instead of a few deletions, we aren't getting a DDoS attack on the whole corporate health care system.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

Health care employee here: we aren’t crazy about this either. Please legislate us into obsolescence.

[-] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Healthcare workers will always be needed. The parasitic insurance industry on the other hand…

[-] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

As long as the concept of CEO's exist, these healthcare CEO's will keep getting replaced like heads of a hydra. After Luigi's murder, that CEO was replaced in a week with an identical cog in the machine. In other words, this is literally pointless or even counter productive if governments decide that this has become an issue and give them special privileges/protections or create some anti-terror squad that would suppress actual future movements for change.

However, if actual change is not a goal then fuck yeah let's kill more capitalists for sport

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Good, defending one side exposes another...

So when the front is prepared, the rear is lacking, and when the rear is prepared the front is lacking. Preparedness on the left means lacks on the right, preparedness on the right means lack on the left. Preparedness everywhere means lack everywhere.

Shareholders make this possible. If you own stock, you reward this behavior. Without shareholders, the pressures change dramatically.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

If I were on the board of a healthcare corporation, I would just create a fake AI persona and let that shit be the CEO. It's not like it would make any difference as far as the operation of the company was concerned, and Muigi Langione would have a tough time shooting that guy in the back.

A lot of platforms have algorithms that won't let you say words like kill, murder or sex. If you want post about that stuff on one those platforms you have to use euphemism or baby talk like un-alive, delete or seggs.

did you mean "fudge that"?

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is not that platform.

Free your mind. en-FUCK your mind.

[-] TinyShonk@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's a screenshot of a tiktok video, did you want them to edit the picture?

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Look, it’s not my fault memes have fallen to the same complexities of supply chains.

Just interpret that the word “you” is diving down the chain to the source. It’s a flippant response anyway.
