Men will literally shoot the chairman of a massive health insurance conglomerate that denied him coverage for therapy appointments instead of going to, well, actually, now I say it out loud I can understand what happened

I’ve been hearing a lot about people’s claims getting approved and peoples debt getting cancelled so what that tells me is that it absolutely did not have to come to this at all.
I read a drs. account of his medical file & saw his back xray w/the giant pins & screws. I'm not justifying murder. I, as a back problems-pain sufferer, know what happens when my spine feels like it is on 🔥 and I can't think straight. I can empathize w/his pain. The murder wasn't right thing to do.
If we had universal healthcare, Brian Thompson and millions of other people who were denied essential healthcare would still be alive. I wish that was our reality. I think the millions of people getting claims for lifesaving care approved is an obvious net positive.
well it also wasn't for therapy, it was for a cripplingly debilitating and AGONIZING spine condition, and they fucked over his gramma on something else.
had the desired effect. tens of thousands of folks getting debts canceled, shit getting approved, bad policies reversed. they're scared.
Insurance Companies invest the premiums into Mutual Funds that the 401K accts that may be available where you work. If my 401K plan is invested in United Healthcare for instance, I will benefit from their profits when I retire.
You hurt those companies you may be hurting the growth of your 401K
Yes, it does... if the murderers work at a place that has a 401K and their killings lessens their 401K... the killing they just committed will hurt them and other workers... so now they are hurting their co-workers just like the denying claims CEO...
think about it though, why would that be someone's first thought if they plan on going through with murder? if someone wants someone dead, the consequences are irrelevant to them.
if one murderer is locked up or killed, someone else is just gonna pop up and start killing. a 401k won't change that.
All CEOs were taught the same way... besides it is the stockholders and their quarterly dividends that rule. CEOs face termination every 90 days if the company is public, not private
The CEOs themselves are one of those stockholders - usually the largest. They are ones making profits for themselves. How they choose to do it is their choice.
I totally get that the system is stacked toward putting bad people in that place, but that does not mean they don't deserve blame.
Oftentimes, if the CEO does not achieve those goals, they may get a second chance or they may get fired. If the CEO was the major stockholder, he would prevent the Board from firing him.
The CEO's employment contract is re-evaluated every 90 days (quarterly) and is predicated upon several factors but some of those are:
dividends paid and have they increased
EPS - earnings per share
Increase in revenue
Decrease in expenses
EBITA - earnings before interest & taxes
Gross Profit Margin
It's not the solution that I would choose,
but since the shooting I have received overwhelming attention from my homeowners insurance agents for a water leak. Same company, when my car was stolen took days to return an email, never ever got a phone call.
Psychotherapy has its benefits and its limitations and it is not panacea. Like all types of interventions, it will have limitations and some therapeutic approaches might have no effect or might have the opposite effect if not chosen carefully. One needs professionalism and realism as psychotherapist
You can tell Bluesky has better engagement than Twitter because, where Twitter posts had to reach ~1,000 favs before they started reaching the kind of bozos who yell at you for things they imagined you said, Bluesky posts get them starting at around 200 favs.

Good.
He's had a psychotic break.
CEOs are replaceable
Murderers are not

A direct correlation!
if one murderer is locked up or killed, someone else is just gonna pop up and start killing. a 401k won't change that.
And, frankly, I think almost every CEO should be replaced.

As a consultant, I've met hundreds of CEOs for both small and large companies.
I've only met about a dozen who were trustworthy in any way.
It's both the system and the people.

Stockholders forced Disney to go DEI when the CEO of Disney did not want to.
but since the shooting I have received overwhelming attention from my homeowners insurance agents for a water leak. Same company, when my car was stolen took days to return an email, never ever got a phone call.
which is to say only it's effective for only about a third of people
