(estimated) 52M membership × 32% denial rate = baseline 16M suspects

What I learned is that Kaiser actually has the lowest denial rate? Maybe the King did come for him...

Yeah, I think it's more likely that it was someone whose loved one was denied care instead of someone who was denied care themself.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 3 months ago

Got to be a kill count up there with some pretty big dictators.

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 116 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Oh no! I really hope this doesn't start happening to all of the CEOs and board members that make a profit off of legally killing people

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The thing that is entirely possible coming out of this is a boon for PMCs getting hired for far more visible corporate security. Hotels and roads shut down for CEOs as if they are heads of state. I guess it was inevitable and cyberpunk really is just life imitating art

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So next stage are roadside IED?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

I’m not gonna tell you how to do your job

[–] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah, Ukraine has already shown the world how regular consumer grade drones can be used as very effective military grade weapons. No need for a roadside IED when you can fly the IED right to their face.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah the second amendment crowd is about to go hard on drones to ensure their saviors remain safe. Weird how they are the first ones in line at school shootings about how guns aren’t the problem but they’re being pretty quiet about a dude shooting a guy across the street using a silenced pistol

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Probably because the hatred of health insurance companies is universal? It’s not like they deny claims based on who you voted for.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

True. Let’s not give them any ideas…

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Fwiw I'm a gun guy who supports common sense legislation and whatever it is we are talking about here ;) not defending corpos that's for fucking sure. V for vendetta becoming a history movie would be fine with me. Also fuck uvalde cops and republicans who say "now is not the time to discuss gun laws"

It’s unfortunate this is the reality that people are living with. Events like this will become more frequent if the billionaire class doesn’t do something about it.

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 108 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh no. I hope they don't keep getting submarined!

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Has consequence culture gone too far?

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 58 points 3 months ago (5 children)

In today's world people should be afraid to flaunt their wealth, pursue these big positions. There's so much inequality, I wouldn't want to be the one to have all the goods. I dont condone murdering people for it, we should eat them instead.

No we feast on their money while they get to serve it up voluntarily to stay clear of the guillotine.

They’ll do something about it alright, like pushing for further militarization of the police, increased government latitude to spy on civilians, and restrictions of what kinds of weapons we’re permitted to own.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah this is just the precursor to cyberpunk (both the genre and the franchise) where corporate CEOs move with militarized armed escorts and have free reign to control areas and traffic where they see fit

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Which will really drive hatred and show the wage slaves exactly who owns their country. Could backfire spectacularly.

[–] Odd_so_Star_so_Odd@lemmy.world 69 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

It's like a textbook example of justice being served one way or the other, if not in orderly respectable fashion then in an abrupt violent fashion.

Society failed them both.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 33 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Society failed them both.

I'd say society did pretty well by the CEO. It was unrelenting greed and placing profits over people that got him to his end. That's on him.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think they mean that society, in its money worship, failed the guy killed. He obviously valued money over lives and he learned that somewhere.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago

I think so too, but I disagree. No one is forced into a CEO lifestyle or profit-above-all mindset. I feel like that's pretty much on him. Echoing a comment I saw elsewhere - my empathy is out of network for this guy.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

As an aside I would say capitalism failed them. Society has existed and failed and evolved since people realized it was beneficial to work together. But that basic byline has always existed with those exploiting others. Roman society failed, feudal society failed, the first version of the US failed as a society, so on and so forth. In this lens, the version of society that failed is capitalism, or probably in this case late-stage capitalism

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This guy was a professional. You think he was an angry citizen?

Of Russia maybe.

External force trying to light the powder keg.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm a terrible shot and I could make that shot. I know how to rack a slide if it gets jammed. I'm no expert. Certainly not a professional assassin.

The planning was good. Bike hidden in alley, run straight to Central Park and disappear. But anyone with a little bit of time could pull that off.

If he doesn't get caught I won't be surprised.

Let's see some receipts, Columbo.

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Probably. Lol for law enforcement trying to figure this one out, there’s millions of people with a motive to kill this dude!

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well that narrows it down to everyone.

[–] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I hope the killer gets away with it. So much motive for so many people.
