I know I'm CAD, and its different up here. But cheering on this murderer feels a bit like blaming a rape victim for her outfit. I just can't accept that it is okay to murder someone because they are a wealthy CEO making money off the humans. If that's so, there's gonna be a lotta dead CEOs coming up

Our 🇨🇦 insurance companies are just as evil and often face no deterrence to bad-faith denials.

Canada needs to stop comparing itself exclusively to the States and then patting ourselves on the back for being a bit less dysfunctional.

We do it a lot. It's often why we can't have nice things

Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO brings resentment of the U.S. health care system to the fore. Anger toward health insurers reflects people’s ‘pent-up pain.’ https://www.statnews.com/2024/12/06/unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing-outrage-pain-resentment-reaction-brian-thompson/ via @statnews.bsky.social

And just as I was feeling bad about it the AI story broke. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe the public has a point.

Disturbing, you say. Yet I am not disturbed.
