    That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:

    • One dead asshole, hell yea.
    • That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
    • A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
    • A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
    • One step in the right direction.

    Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.

      A well trained, well beaten dog.

      An economic Uncle Ruckus. They train us from birth to see shame in not being wealthy, it sadly works. Some of our economy’s victims internalize their own dehumanization and see it as the natural order to report on their fellow inferiors to their betters.

      The same people mourning BriBris loss by hilariously trying to shame everyone for not condemning his murder while conveniently ignoring all the people he murdered through policy, and whose policies murdered people yesterday, and will today, tomorrow…

        economic Uncle Ruckus

        The rich man provides us with meaningful work and purpose and we throw it back in his face by unionizing and wanting to take more of his money! We nasty poors must follow the rich man’s example and one day we may be as cultured and decent as he is.

        Praise the rich man and his benevolent ways!

      The difference between a wanted murderer and an unsung hero depends a lot on how much, and which, media a person consumes.

      I like to assume the average person is apolitical and pays only a passing glance at headlines.

        Insurance companies behaved themselves for a few days. That’s already saved lots of lives, making the whole thing balance out as a positive.

        I’d be banned by the admins for suggesting how this momentum could be kept going.

            Their account is on lemmy.world so I’m not sure how it would be treated. We, however, are not.

            * ahem *

            Rhetoric: down with the bourgeoisie, eat the rich, sodomize the land-owners, impale all people who have more than 25 reál in their pocket, literally murder all human beings regardless of their political beliefs.

              I think that the instance admins can’t ban their users in other instances communities or delete their comments. But the is one of this things that is weird about federation.

        A surgery that my little one needed was being denied by insurance two weeks ago. Yesterday when calling for the pre surgery instructions we were notified that last surgery was approved. So we were doing all three requested surgeries at once and only having to put her under once.

        I don’t know if this was the cause but there was a 180 on the approval.

        which accomplish nothing

        Seems to have accomplished something. What are you doing about it? Trying to stir shit up from abroad I assume. How about you fuck right off and let us deal with it.

    This meme is astroturf propaganda to try to discourage the working class. There are plenty of stories of insurance companies reversing their decisions and approving procedures that they had denied the day before, or not going through with plans to reduce coverage.

    That is what happens when the 1% are reminded that they are outnumbered 99 times, and that those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear.

    Nonsense.

    It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.

    And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted/a not guilty verdict.

    The conditions that caused this event haven’t gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.

    Someone mentioned how the first time there was a school shooter, everyone took note. And now we have school shooters. It’d be interesting if this became a thing.

    You really think this is over? Columbine was a shocking, once in a lifetime event when I was in middle school. By the time I was in college, school shootings were a fact of life. The only difference is that people weren’t rooting for school shooters. They may have caught this guy, but a new era of gun violence is just getting started.
