You know how that used to just be accepted by all as the reasonable moral to absorb, instead of now where half the country is brainwashed and are like "you don't deeply care for the poor billionaires?!!"
Ya know what, I think this is probably the best response to any boot lickers decrying the internet reaction to this. "Remember Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghost of Christmas future?..."
A lot of care with given to how to deliver this event to shareholders on that fateful day, just saying a medical emergency happened to him, not so much care to even one of their peers.
United Healthcare has one of the lowest "pay outs" for its plans in the business. So it's a fantastic business model if the goal is to get people to pay you for health care that you will then deny.
Every single person has had warnings in the form of A Christmas Carol where you watch Scrooge, a stand-in for any heartless businessman, receive plenty of notice about how little people care about him.
Actually, the CEOs are kinda like house slaves. They often didn't come from crazy rich families (just rich families) and are only mere millionaires. Their billionaire shareholders give them scraps (millions) so they can keep the rest of the working class down.
I fully understand how terrible it is to be gleeful at the murder of an individual. Murder is wrong. Period. Brian Thompson shouldn’t have been murdered. The killer should be punished. However. The Brian Thompsons of the world need to realize that their actions have consequences. Their pursuit of shareholder profits at the expense of people is what led to this. You cannot fault an individual who was hurt directly because of UHC’s actions. The killer likely lost a love one because of UHC. 1/2
So while I understand that we cannot resort to vigilante justice, we also need to start holding corporations accountable for their actions. Otherwise we will have a revolution and violence. And I don’t want that. Corporations need to contribute to the betterment of society too. Otherwise we will see more violence

I'm reminded of France and their, ahhh "strategic" use of guillotines haha

People tend to forget though that they threw out "strategic" in short order.
Against the revolution? Guillotine!
Suspected Monarchist? Guillotine!

There will be a sad irony if his life insurance doesn't pay out if they find out it was a murder for hire

the CEO championed a program that let an AI deny 90% of all claims... so basically a form of fraud that has yet to be legally recognized.

Unfortunately for this CEO he didn’t receive any visitation warnings because the 3 Christmas Spirits were out of network.

A man so vile he didn't even have one friend who cared about him like Jacob Marley to beg the spirits to save him
easytigger
He WAS visited by the three spirits, Deny, Defend, Depose.

FYI likely referring to this book title

Yeah, sorry, visitations come out of your preventive care benefit, which was already maxed out because you got a vaccine at CVS four years ago.

He ended up like Jacob Marley. Maybe he'll warn the others what will happen if they don't change their ways.

That we know of.

He was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Lead.

There is no justice in the USA. If there was, Trump would be rotting in prison.

That really isn't going to happen. The American people elected fascism. The weak are expected not to survive.

Scrooge actually paid Cratchit better than minimum wage workers get today. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/02/08/fact-check-bob-cratchits-salary-higher-than-us-minimum-wage/8987313002/
Gryphonosiris
"However, that wage would put the Cratchits below the federal poverty line of $44,660 for a family of eight. "
Robbann
wait, that was a family of eight?
