Good. People have already been alarmed about the state of healthcare and gun violence for quite some time.
Are they going to do anything about it now or just sit there being “alarmed”?
Maybe another dozen police officers in the photo op “escorting” Luigi will calm things down.
Ya know what’s extremely alarming? Children dying of preventable causes because an insurance exec and their board want more profit. What’s not alarming? A CEO became another statistic.
ChildrenAnyone dying of preventable causesFTFY
It’s upsetting to CEOs to know that we see them, the same way as they see us. Expendable. Very tragic, thoughts and prayers.
Brian Thompson is a mass murderer. Luigi only killed one person therefore possibly saving many more lives. And they want us to think Luigi is the bad guy?
What’s alarming is people have been pushed to the point where they would consider Luigi’s actions justified.
A good start
Long overdue
Yeah, I’d rather people not have to get shot for the government to realize there’s a problem, but here we are. It got to the point where some dude went out and shot a rich guy. And now they finally notice? Doubt.
It’s all just theater.
Another out of touch gasbag. Take his pension like C suite jerks have taken other people and he would get it.
The only thing that’s alarming is that congress hasn’t nationalized private healthcare companies in response to this.
These acts of defense will surely surely continue until their mass murder is put to an end.
They’re trying SO HARD to make it look like a fringe, extremist position instead of the groundswell of righteous fury that it is.
What’s surprising is how out of touch any of these people seem to be. Do they genuinely not understand that people are suffering?
Do they genuinely not understand that people are suffering?
We’re lucky if they understand other people exist.
Most of them fully understand and approve. The suffering is the point.
Why do they keep framing him as a father as if that should make us feel empathy?
Osama bin Laden was a father to 23 fucking kids.
Even Trump and Musk have kids - doesn’t make either one less of a dirt bag.
Is Musk still bringing his little human shield around with him?
Unconscious pronatalist bias.
People don’t talk about it much, but there’s an unconscious tendency to give more sympathy to parents. There’s a million reasons why this happens but I’m not gonna go there.
The media is pretty heavy handed with this manipulation because it usually works. Any article about a murdered woman mentions if she’s a mother, and if not it’s “she didn’t get to have kids yet.” It gets lots of clicks.
That CEO is so disgusting that they can’t even activate people’s unconscious biases and the media is panicking because they’ve lost control. It’s kinda impressive and funny tbh.
Side note - I’m not an antinatalist or anything, I’m just a philosophy/sociology nerd.
The fucking asshoke fucked over and denied care to fucking children with cancer.
He also fucked over who knows how many other people, many of whom were also parents.
The all had family. And he fucked then all over without a single moment of regret.
His kids get to inherit his blood money. So fuck them too.
If only Homeland Security protected the lower classes in the homeland.
I hope they have nightmares about guillotines
I bet. He’s the domestic spy chief. He knows how far it goes. How mad people are. And exactly how widespread that sentiment is.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall of those classified briefings he gives to the politicians.
Then change the insane healthcare system. People are mad about it, especially when they know how other countries handle it.
Good. Be alarmed.
