A lot of liberals on here seem unable to wrap their minds around the idea that what this guy did for a $10 million salary plus perks, bonuses, and stock is also violence

The Clinton "centrist" approach, aka appeasement, is to a large extent about sucking up to corporate donors just to get elected. But the underlying problem is that Milton Friedman's pseudoscientific version of economics is the dominant narrative. As long as "experts" toe that line, Dems will too.
All parties are corrupt and bend over for their lobbyists. Please explain to me how the Dems are any different lol. He literally took Reagan’s bill and 2.0’d it, hand in hand on the puppeteer
Dude, u know that isn’t true. He went above and beyond for corporate America. His partisan media bill single handedly led to the media /News disinformation shit storm we are in now. He passed a bill that basically eliminated real journalism, allowing corporate America to do as they please…
His job was to make a profit by murdering thousands and thousands of Americans every year who were sick and needed medical help. Plus the unbelievable misery of the people who didn't die.
Please for the love of God explain the me how these two things are rhetorically similar in your eyes. Is it... is it just that they both make a lot of money?
Nowhere near the same thing you dork. The doctor’s job is to provide care. They hate insurance companies too because it makes their job exponentially harder than it would be if insurance companies weren’t denying coverage left and right
Also, the difference between 400k and 10mil is damn near 10mil
Most doctors don’t even make that much either. My (recently retired) dad made ~150k a year his entire career with minimal raises, he was effectively making close to half of what he was when he started at retirement.
no its violence. Economic violence. WE NEED TO START calling it what it is VIOLENCE AGAINST THE PEOPLE. stop soft peddling what these rich ppl do to us each and every day!
I agree, however the words i use are very specific and still technically correct.
I'm trying to illustrate to these fools how oppression gave this nation life, and how they have become traitors because they don't want to believe in science.
I have a friend who's all like, "He didn't deny claims personally!" When I called her out, she just went, "How'd he profit?" Oh honey...tell me you don't know how that shit works without telling me.
I'm hydrocephalic. UHC basically tried to kill me from birth. I'm still here despite their bullshit
UHC tried to kill me by forcing me to switch insulins because "it was cheaper for them." Got put back on the insulin I was using successfully for 20 years after 1 coma ICU stay. Karma comes for those who deserve it.
I was just making fun of that silly socialist slogan, but tbh it does hold true that liberalism is the only way out of this mess. the more illiberalism the democrats court the more resentment they have built. pronoun circles and land acknowledgement etc
free public healthcare has never existed anywhere on the planet. healthcare by definition isn’t free, there are just different ways of organizing and structuring it.
actually people thinking that “free parking” is free is actually really problematic when it comes to city planning, because cars represent opportunity costs. so that was an incredibly salient analogy to show how the word “free” can be misleading.
it's not at all problematic, because nobody thinks it's free. they think it's free at point of use. you are the only person confused and i'm asking why you're confused
"haha actually sweaty buy one get one free isn't really free it still requires people to create the product they simply are selling a larger volume at half the price to reduce volume on the shelves, i am in mensa can you tell"
brother you are wasting your breath the kind of liberals that are complaining about anybody making jokes are the same ones that think that they could find common ground with someone as they are disemboweling them these people mean well but they have the brains of a small dog
True. But he is dead and the bigger question is whether he deserved, as many are suggesting , to die as he did. I think what he did should be made a crime but vigilante activity by the masses just leads to more repression of the masses. CEOs will hide more and lobby for even less accountability….
They’re a vertically integrated monopoly from hell. They are also their own Pharmacy Benefit Manager (masquerading as Optum) and pharmacy. They’re triple-dipping and enriching themselves at every level.
Do I support the man’s death? Nope. Will I shed a tear for a corporate oligarch (who made his riches off of the suffering of the needy) who got shot? Not a chance.
He’s destroyed more homes and lives than any serial killer. But because he did it from a distance without any personal connection, he’s somehow less culpable?
I've yet to meet a liberal on here that is at all bothered by his death. He was a ring leader in a machine that let people suffer and die. Those feeling apathy or even celebration have every right to. We all prob know someone affected by his company's claim denials.
He used AI to deny 30% of claims. How many of those people had less than optimal medical outcomes as a result. If the shooter’s loved one was among those victims, he will be seen as a martyr. Fuck privatized health care! Trump will do the same to education, prisons, the police. Sell it all for a $
Heh, you might be more left-wing than you realize. The predominant liberal attitudes I've seen today are A)unshakable faith that our institutions are fundamentally good and function well, to the point they can't even acknowledge there's a problem, and B)performances of decorum and civility.
Yeah, I also called myself "liberal" throughout my 20s and my brother kept telling me I wasn't and it took me a minute to understand what leftism and liberalism actually are. It's hard because we're conditioned to think there are only 2 things: conservative and liberal.
Haha when most people from the left say liberal they mean "neo lib". If that is how you think you may not be a full on socialist but you aren't really a lib either. :)
"The share holders" is a way to avoid saying "capitalists". All that "six people hold more wealth than blah blahj blah" stuff, the wealth they hold is in shares.
Not sure where this story goes. But I do wonder if this is what the next American Revolution looks like. It won't be fought by mobs of tattoo'd looneys storming the capital. It will be well thought out and very carefully targeted at those that are sequencing the evil in the backroom.
These are buzzwords, of course. The inflammatory sloganeering of the xtreme left demonstrates how emotional they are, incapable of understanding the Real World
i have to believe this, or I may be expected to honestly address the substance of the language
Americans are killing the Palestinians, bro. They are doing that right now. Its probably the most cited reason BY AMERICANS to end the slaughter: because they're paying for it.
This is a US-sponsored effort, and it ain't over yet.
I’ve long since come to the conclusion that the “liberal” one person types and the “liberal” another person reads are rarely, if ever, the same thing. I’m not sure whose fault that is (so I’ve decided to blame Regan), but the results are almost always entertaining
I've been too desensitized by the constant barrage of right wing terrorism and school shootings to give a shit when some rich asshole gets deleted.
Like those idiots in the sub that imploded. F'em
Yup. I think we’re going to find out UHC denied care for his kid and the kid died. Fighting w/our insurance company for care for a very sick kid rn. I couldn’t ever resort to violence. But put me on the jury? Prob couldn’t vote to convict either if that’s the case.
Yep. The corporate veil is an absolute plague on our society.
"But how can corporations do things if someone might get arrested?" If your company does something that would get an individual arrested, you're evil and belong in jail.
I can wrap my head around that. What frustrates me is this would be a great opportunity (and I see it all over the replies) to put a focus on WHY it happened as opposed to being happy it happened.

You’re def left leaning but if you’re against capitalist greed, you’re prob not a liberal lol
Why are you fighting for the former by intentionally confusing it with the latter?
The liberal mind is such a mystery...

Trust, there's a method to my madness.🥰
They think they're the resistance, but they're not. They're conservatives that use less overtly hostile language.

They worship the dollar and the dollar forgot about him the second he was gone.
Mahatma Gandhi.
41% of Americans carry medical debt.
no self-reflection on that, though
Idc why u just didn’t call it what it is, free public healthcare
and yet literally nobody is confused by the phrase "free parking"
so why are you continually acting confused about free health care if not to deter people from wanting it

He’s dead, it’s a net positive to the world.
The guy that did it should have a f***ing statue built for him.
(I’m trying so hard not to break character on this account, but when a wealthy capitalist pos gets clipped, I make exceptions)

All that man's job entailed was funding for violence in the denial of care.
Context is hard to see when you actively choose to close your eyes, eh?
And there's a lot of ostrich libs out there, head in the sand.
Don't you have some heckin pupperinos you should be updooting
The atom bombs on Japan weren't "revenge," absolutely no serious history asserts that, but there you go being a fuckin idiot again
I see that you're a fucking idiot

Trump wins: FUCK FASCISM!
The fascist ethnostate of Israel commits genocide: yawn
Fascist?
Ethnostate?
Genocide?

say has anyone filled the orcas in on the ceo shooting? good to keep in touch w allies
Thoughts for the CEO. No prayers, just thoughts. I can't afford to give those because the claim has been denied.
Healthcare is being denied when it HAS been paid for. Illegally denied.
If you feel the need to jump on here and gaslight people, it’s probably bec u see yourself in him.
For that I say, F*** YOU!

And that's the cover-up.
