I enjoy how this article basically enumerates every name removed from their sites.

If you're worried that your CEO will be murdered, that might be an indicator that you have some deep problems as a company. If you're all worried, that may be an indicator that your entire industry is a problem.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 64 points 3 weeks ago (17 children)

It's really not that hard to run an insurance company without making people want to murder you

Oh boy sounds like they're afraid of copycat killers.

Why - are they doing something that should make them afraid?

They shouldn’t let this become common. Hiding who Runs the company just makes them even MORE faceless and disconnected from humanity. Maybe focus on not shafting literally the entire population for money and shit coverage.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 30 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I would expect only the wrong lessons will be learnt. But I already saw a headline about another insurance company reverting some stupid policy, so maybe correct ones will be learnt, too.

Yeah, if I lived off blood money in a country with insanely high gun ownership, I would also start acting like it.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 79 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

One more dead CEO and the conseevatives will start worrying about gun control.

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 67 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

It's actually nuts. Visiting /r/conservative and while there are some boot lickers by and large they are in agreement that "fuck that guy".

It's wild.

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (6 children)

I'm genuinely impressed. I might even risk the blow to my mental health to see for myself.

Edit: yeah, holy shit, there's a couple people going "jeez you guys are nasty. I didn't like him either but still" and the rest are treating the shooter like a national hero.

Class struggles are something we can all get behind

[–] Josey_Wales@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Class is the root struggle. All other divisions distract those not at the top.

This reminds me of the girl who had her face ripped off by a bear. When she was asked what the worst part of the experience was, she said that it was dealing with the health insurance companies.

Good thing there isn't some kind of machine that lets you go way back in time to see the pages before they were removed

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 67 points 2 weeks ago

Good thing someone who can plan their attack and track their target for days or weeks, someone with absolutely nothing to lose and a single-minded purpose, would absolutely give up on their plans if they can't find a public picture of a company's CEO on the first page they check.

Hiding your website link isn't going to stop someone your lack of humanity has pushed to the point of actually shooting you.

And removing the tiniest bit of visible accountability you give doesn't seem like a particularly good idea either.

Publicly traded companies would have all this listed in official filings, anyway.

Yeah because somebody as motivated as the shooter in Manhattan will totally be deterred by removing the "Our Team" pages from your website.

Talk about focusing on the wrong thing. How about instead of worrying about how to hide the names of your executives you instead have a meeting where you decide to be an ethical company that balances the needs of the shareholder with the needs of your customers.

Novel idea, I know.

Instead of "kill your local pedophile" a lot more rewarding slogan could be "kill you local CEO".

Pedophiles and ceos are in the same category for me.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

I've read about people who knows that they're pedofiles, but don't act upon it. That makes (some) pedofiles more human than CEOs.

"there gooees my hero! Watch him as he goes!"

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 46 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

I initially was thinking that people were just aggressive about him, because of the insurance companies and not necessarily what he did, especially since he was CEO for 3 years, but looks like UH had rejections in single digit and after he took over they jumped to over 20%

I understand the outrage though. While some rejections could be people asking for things that are not necessary, for example Ozempic if one doesn't have diabetes, many of those affect quality of life for millions of people and even affect of they can live or die.

It is absolutely horrible and unethical to make money on misfortune of others.

Good! The ONLY way to Protect Themselves is to Hide and definitely NOT to create Policies that HELP the Working Class!

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 45 points 3 weeks ago

Guilty all of them. They know and now they fear it. It wont change the shit they do in any decent way. Those narcs are already forming a new world view to make them martyrs.

I don't get the fuss about it. Guy went voting ... he had no paper vote against what fucked him, his loved ones, and millions of fellow Americans over, so he used a high velocity lead vote. Still, just democracy at work.

Or maybe they should consider being decent human beings who do not profit from death and misery.
