You know, they just make clear to us how effective it was. Had they handled it like any other murder, there wouldn’t be a support movement that practically calls for others to do the same.

?
Like people would still celebrate the ceo dying regardless. I mean, once the news reported “Delay, Deny, Depose”, that’s it. People would be in support.
De_Narm@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sure, they would still celebrate and support it. But having a single news ticker item “CEO shot” simply does not make waves like non-stop coverage for multiple days does.

There’s roughly a murder a day in NYC. How many of them have you heard about? Do you know any of their names or professions?
octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
I hope they are fucking shaking in their boots now. Sounds like they are.
nepenthes@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Oof, really Matt Egan?! No one is going to murder children.

I am sitting here, in incredible pain from a combined sinus and ear infection, waiting for the antibiotics I need to be shipped to me in 3-5 business days because my insurance will only provide prescription coverage through Express Scripts and not a retail pharmacy.
This same insurance company has also denied to cover a surgery they have prior auth for, denied coverage for routine lab work that is expressly covered, waited months to review disputed charges and gotten them sent to collections, and forced me into a lower tier of coverage twice due to premium increases.
The kicker? I work in the health insurance industry. But I’m not an exec, just a support worker.
They can try to stop the online support all they want, but they should know that the active censorship will only cause people to go elsewhere. This issue is uniting everyone who watches the evening news, and they can’t risk not covering the story because they are hoping to make an example of him.
UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Damn, I hope your infection doesn’t progress. Stay strong
Firebirdie713@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Thankfully it won’t, but I had to deal with more of their shenanigans.
Did you know that they refuse to transfer a prescription if they haven’t filled it at least once? I had to call the urgent care clinic back and have them transfer it instead.
Bless the retail pharmacy worker who walked me through how to get everything in order and got me discount coupons. It took them 30 minutes to fill and cost me a total of $15. So I will be okay, but in spite of Express Scripts, who gave me an ETA of the 17th, more than a week after the script was ordered.

Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.
Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons.
I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.
(They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)

Not an employee, but I guess close enough.

Meanwhile the other day the manager of a grocery store was joking about how we need more people like him while scanning my ID for beer.

Ain’t gonna happen. They’ve given us a martyr. And a sexy one no less.

I want something tangible to do. I’m just angry. America is so shit. It overshadows all of its freedoms with greed.

Are they trying to making Healthcare affordable?

Just like NBC airing the news tonight of medical debt forgiveness. Sure felt like propaganda.

So last I heard the lawyer of Luigi said they are not taking outside money. Have you got any links to something that says otherwise?
capital@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Don’t take this as being accusatory but how do people know this is legit?
EndOfLine@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Honest answer is that I don’t.
It could be a fraud perpetrated by somebody outside the reach of US laws and I have no idea what, if any, protections GiveSendGo has to protect donors from fraud.

If Amazon or eBay takes down your merchandise, you can always sell it on xmrbazaar.com and somebody could make a legal defense fund on kuno.anne.media

Quite amazing that killing 1000s(?) a year is ok, shooting the one that allowed it isn’t.

If this is where we’re at leading into the next Trump term things are going to be beyond fucked in very a short while
uis@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Or be beyond good. More CEOs might be raskulacheny.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I kind of agree with them. Having everyone talking about murder is kind if terrifying.
x00z@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The US healthcare system is even more terrifying.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I think that’s a totally different problem not solved by shooting replaceable executives
Gerudo@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Are you a ceo of an evil corporation that kills thousands a year? If not, your pretty safe.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
There are plenty of people who would replace him in a heart beat.
Murdering never really accomplishes anything

Less terrifying than normalized murder that executives commit with “just good business”.
samus12345@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I know it is, but it’s important that people don’t forget about the hundreds of thousands of people murdered by insurance companies denying claims every year.

I wanna thank spez for fucking up reddit which kickstarted the beginning of a new era. The Fediverse Era.

To bad about lemmy.world doing everything they can to be reddit 2.0.
Oh well, hopefully this will drive people away from centralization

Switch to a different instance. It’s what I’m doing.
