I understand that this is going to be controversial but:
I think it’s bad that the CEO of a top-20 market cap company who I had no particular opinion of and whose name I didn’t know before this morning was murdered.

"We want to just really calm New Yorkers, and particularly the business executives,” he said. “This seemed to have been clearly targeted by an individual, and we will apprehend that individual."
Be reassured, business execs (unless you're clearly targeted)
no, don't
And no matter how good you are, they're better.. because they have bigger teeth.
Thus justifying your death and all the people you killed on the way to where you were when you met the bigger teeth.
You just might get it
That will certainly dowse flames of rage.
Guess I’ll find out shortly…
Fucking crazy, and I tend to agree with you that random violence, no matter the justification, is “bad.”
That said, I think as a society we're heading back into a phase of "desperate people who perceive few options will select the worst one."
Seem to recall at least one case where a BIPOC shooter had the book thrown at her.
I think I found why he’s talking about this one
Incredibly unlikely to be robbery gone wrong.
Are Russian business practices being imported to the good old USA.
But EVERYONE hates insurance companies, so no one should be surprised at the lack of immediate empathy.
I just read elsewhere about some opthomologist who murdered his FORMER colleague out of sheer jealousy. Insanity. He got nothing concrete out of the hit, and got caught.
Is there some corporation out there who've decided that icing their competitors is good business?
In a gallows humor sort of way, the specific circumstances of this act of gun violence make it absolutely funny too.
And yes, I do hate myself for having laughed a little
We are a great country.
Empathy has its limits.
I don’t believe in karma. I don’t condone murder.
I can’t condemn anyone’s feelings or expression of feelings about it.
“Celebrating” here isn’t the same thing as dancing on his grave.
The sour cream of wrath, however.. got more of that than ever.
The “what if we just killed all the billionaires” crowd is as delusional as any MAGA.
- We should feel bad for the guy and his family, no matter how bad his company was
- Health insurance companies do indeed suck
- We shouldn't want to live in a society where murder is an accepted way to do business
A lot of people are letting (2) override (1) and (3)
I'll keep shtum about the rest except yes, health insurance companies certainly suck.
Firstly because it probably wasn't - there'd presumably be some attempt to signal what the political message was - and secondly because that would actually Not Be Good.
who is celebrating
so with that in mind, i will simply say "ok lol" and bow out
But some of these folks are NOT engaging with the meme at any ironic distance, shall we say.
But address is way different. If he has family, leave them the fuck alone. And yes right now that can get you yourself a visit you don't want, hypothetical poster.

Wait, it was a gag the whole time, wasn't --
oh no
Honestly, I have more insight into the lives of the people serving coffee there than I do into the lives of people attending or running that meeting.

Anger at the CEO is misplaced, terrible piece of shit he is.
Scary precedent. It gives people ideas they didn't have before.
It also got us digging for dirt on the company he died for.
