The thing that blows my mind about the UHC CEO hit is that it is clear, by their changes in conduct — not business conduct, obvi, but conduct in the way they present themselves and make themselves known — that the public sentiment about the leadership of UHC was BRAND NEW INFO to that leadership

*"the hoi polloi" is like saying "ATM machine"

Meals required plate service with silverware.
They are the heroes of the shareholders & creating value, they make the world go.
The little people don't matter, what are they going to do not have insurance? Open enrollment windows limit consumer ability to leave in response to bullshit.
The maid, the hotelier, the driver, the housekeeper, they're all perfectly obsequious and polite, so that's what all us "little people" think of them of course!
They are all convinced they're the good guys, and it is honestly more terrifying than if they were just cackling maniacs.
He *needed* his workers to look up to him, to think they needed his jobs in a way he didn't need their labor.
He'd lose money to keep that feeling of power.
Jostling that belief is *world-shattering.*
