One would like to think so, but it could also be described as a rather selfish act/desire to (attempt) to preserve the health of myself/family as well.
You can change those captions too: Woke right virtue signaling over some people not giving a **** a CEO died (not celebrating, nor mourning, just literally not giving a ****) -and- Woke right seeing the death toll of innocent Palestinians but still trying to argue it is their fault
Likewise, I'm not purely for the violent removal of this cog in a cruel wheel, but if it makes those running it pause and think, I would understand. I once had a marxist CEO promote the notion that cheap and free firearms were the most democratizing tool for freedom and was as important as the printing press. He makes a lot of sense when your side is not in control.
The woke right is a term I’m very excited to see catching on. Finally a counterbalance entering the culture wars of murica
our healthcare system is honestly a joke…while I do not condone assassination and murder, with this for-profit system in a capitalist society, they are incentivized to deny as many claims as possible and cover as little as they can get away with A major health insurance company is backing off of a controversial plan to limit coverage of anesthesia, according to public officials. Why it matters: Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield recently decided to "no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes," according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, which opposed the decision. The decision covered plans in Connecticut, New York and Missouri. The insurer had based the move on surgery time metrics from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, NPR reported. Friction point: The decision was controversial at the time — but outrage erupted this week after the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City cast a spotlight on divisive insurance decisions.
As the saying goes, not saying I agree, but I understand. Some anecdotes: "I'm in pharmacy. I've been in pharmacy for nearly ten years. I've seen grown adults cry and beg for alternatives because their insurance denied it. I've seen pharmacists make us leave the room so they could buy a patients insulin and give it to them because they were out of government assistance "the doughnut hole" it was called. I've watched as a patient turned from happy to be progressing through their day to devastated because their insurance refused to cover a medication that their doctor ordered. Insurance companies are on par with arms dealers and sex traffickers in my mind. They arbitrarily put people in physical, emotional, and financial, hell by applying different rules however they want. They have little to no oversight, and they rape the American populace to the tune of tens of billions ($317 billion this year for United) and I'm supposed to feel bad for the man who leads the charge on cost cutting by butchering the lives of average Americans? How can I shed tears for a man who physically embodied the most ravenous perpetuation of greed and selfish skullduggery in American history. His family is likely lost and hurt, I feel bad for them. But I hope they realize that the life they lived was from the gleeful rejection of care for the most needy. Their life was built on the backs of sick and dying Americans." "Dude, a co-worker of mine just got ****ed to the tune of $800 for a preventative-care mammogram that was supposed to be free. Turns out, the policy is that it is only free if you use a "participating provider." Now, you would think that would mean "In-Network" but apparently IT DOESN'T. They literally created a whole other category to try to not even pay for IN-NETWORK preventative care. The kicker is that they found something and she need a double mastectomy, and I feel SO BAD for her, because if they pull this kind of **** for a preventative-care mammogram, how the **** many ways can they screw her on the many tests and surgeries she is going to need for the next 5 years?!" Even doctors hate insurance companies: https://www.thedailybeast.com/leadi...care-ceos-murder-after-users-slam-his-record/ Insurance companies are almost universally hated by Americans- both the medical community and patients/family members.
In the modern French Revolution, I think us poors lose. Our little swords and guns can go **** ourselves in the face of todays levels of technological advancement and concentration of power. Biohack, release the 99% mortality strain, drop the nukes, hop on your spaceship, call it a weekend.
I think there's two completely 100% different issues here . . . one, the guy who got murdered; and two, problems with the health care and insurance industry. if the "what if" to DD's post is that the gunman's vengeance was legitimate and the CEO's murder was deserved: then DD needs to join @tinman's official vigilante justice chat: https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/...-houston-home-owner-kills-3-intruders.318442/
This lady has more common sense, intelligence, integrity and a moral compass than all you insane leftists who applaud murder combined. Also, would.
I doubt every member of the elite wants an armed detail with green zones to feel safe under. That whole Paul Pelosi fiasco, who didn't open the door for his Gay Lover, hints that most people want to live "normal"-ish lives, albeit with as much privilege and access as possible. Anyhow, I also think most Americans are ok with elites getting more access and privilege when they're doing 80% of the heavy lifting. People are mostly chill with Elon despite his attention grabbing. It's just those within who are either parasitic and immoral that make it an uneasy bargain.
Here is an example that what the shooter did . . . . is making a difference. The death of this one CEO may possibly be saving thousands if no millions of lives because they now will get the Anesthesia they need . . . . Doctors are not rushing to keep it under the artificial time frame MANDATED BY THE NON MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS Rocket River
