The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.
As a Pro Life Jesus Loving Republican I think this is TERRIBLE! That UnitedHealthcare is LOSING Money! If we don’t Donate and Help them HOW will their CEO be able to Afford a NEW Yacht while MURDERING Tens of Thousands of Americans? That Thought makes my HEART Weep!
Genuine question, are you ok? I see you commenting like this on A LOT of threads
I’m hoping it’s just overuse of sarcasm, but it’s hard to tell these days.
Presumably the artisté is working
I know very few people who feel OK lately. I think it’d be more concerning if someone was OK.
The fact that Andrew Witty and Stephen Hemsley have survived is a failure of the American people at large.
both are from the uk, and witty worked for GKS a pharmaceutical british company before united health, hes no stranger to this type of shit.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
This is the way. We’ve been in a class war for a generation, and we’ve been losing without even fighting back. Past time for that to change.
It’s been a class war since the dawn of human civilization. Pit the peasants against each other so they don’t kill the “Nobility.”
Always has been, always will be.
Let’s not mess with Costco and costplusdrug please. Not all ceo are bad.
No im a proud tankie triad commie who flunked out of middle school and cant keep a job for more than a month. Everyone who has subordinates or wears glasses is the opressor.
Costco CEO is already covered as soon as they raise the price of the hot dog combo.
“if you raise the price of the hot dog, I will fucking kill you.”
The hot dog is a loss leader. They want you paying your membership fees, and that hot dog keeps you paying. While you’re paying, you probably also shovel a ton of money into the store buying all sorts of stuff. It may be a good deal for you, but it’s a fantastic deal for costco.
Technically, you don’t need a membership for the food court, pharmacy, or to purchase alcohol, but the loss leader point still stands… Also the fact that we’re talking about it now proves that it works.
No membership required for costco’s food court.
That’s changing now
Damn, now I really want a costco hot dog.
The idea is that companies should pursue profit, but not if the full fucking you without lube sense. Costco of course seeks to be profitable, but it has an “ethical” limit about to do so without harming the customers too much
Incorrect, they’re just temporarily not as bad as they could be.
Googles motto was “don’t be evil” they silently retired it as soon as it suited them to be evil.
Let’s hope for the best!!
This is how they learn! Operational Conditioning.
Lol what? No good CEO is good enough.
Typical
Interesting wording in That headline. Associating guilt in what to most people will see as a positive thing.
Luigi broke the propaganda machine.
A lot of reddit finally accepted that their darling is a heavily censored space and its primary goal is narrative shaping operations. Reddit and media as a whole failed this one and many people got woke on the issue of heavy censorship which they called “modding”
reddit immediately tried to censor the news like 2 weeks when he shot the guy, i was pointing out how it just suddenly vanished.
The shooting “tarnished UnitedHealthcare’s reputation and disrupted its operational stability,” Ge Bai, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Maryland, told Newsweek.
No, it did not, don’t pin that one on Luigi.
UnitedHealthcare did that all on their lonesome, by profiteering on people’s pain and suffering.
“In a statement today, interim CEO of Cockroach Inc. expressed extreme displeasure that Luigi shined a light on their roaches nest for others to see.”
The shooting helped people realise just how united they are in their justified anger
This! The shooting allowed people to start counting themselves, and it looks like UH haters are a much bigger crowd than shareholders.
Good. Very good.
Pretty sure their struggles aren’t b/C of Luigi. It’s b/c they murder people.
Great news and this comment would get me banned elsewhere and that’s why I am here .
reddit would most likely ban you, due to 2 layers of filtering system, sitewide and subreddit filters.
I’m pretty sure lemmy.world will ban you for “promoting violence”, but it probably varies by community.
Reddit or Lemmy. World?
Considering this is a Lemmy world post, I would say reddit
This isn’t one of the tankie Instances right?? I’m on the world one as well
Nope, violent zionists, boot lickers, and neck beards, like normal reddit.
Maybe 50% less open about it
Tankies are lemmygrad and .ml, to a less serious about themselves extent; hexbear.
The important thing is the friends we make along the way.
Oh. Shit. I guess my life is hollow and meaningless, then.
{sotto voce} pssst: Everyone’s is. Some just don’t realise it.
Lemmy.world is meant to be a general, politically neutral instance. It’s not unmoderated but it’s not using its moderation policy to silence opposition like Reddit or Lemmy.ml
I don’t think you can be mad at a site that explicitly tries to be for the mainstream for holding mainstream positions like being pro-Israel or pro-Capitalism
meant to be
Theory rarely lives up to real world implementation
neutral
No such thing does or can exist on the scale of generality you’re discussingwho are you accommodating, what do you actually mean? Neutral to whom? Don’t say “everybody”; that would be a lie.
does not use its moderation policy to silence opposition
Opposition to what? You’re giving me glimpses of a position here, saying you have one, and denying you have one.
for the mainstream holding mainstream positions
Okay that’s not “neutral” that’s “popular”. These are not remotely the same word. Please be more careful with your use of language in the future.
such as being pro israel
Which isn’t popular, it’s astroturfed. Not the same.
and pro capitalism
So, that hasn’t been genuinely popular in a while, we just cant agree what to do about it.
Neutral in its moderation policy. They don’t remove posts, communities, or comments based off of ideology. Conservative, liberal, and left wingers all post here.
Opposition as in silencing the opposition to the beliefs of the admin/moderation team. Such as lemmy.ml removing comments for being pro-capitalism or anti-CCP or Reddit shadow banning anti-ai, anti-spez, or anti-capitalism, or a number of other topics that end with people being shadow banned. Lemmy.world isn’t perfect in its moderation but when it does mess up, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is there to call them out.
Being pro-Israel is not that same as approving their actions in Gaza. Being pro-genocide is not popular but being pro-Israel is and has been for the last 60 years. It wasn’t until the war in Gaza that Israel had net negative favorability 1
Only on left-wing echo chambers is capitalism not popular. Yes people want reform and so capitalism doesn’t poll as well as it used to in favorability but Americans are still overwhelmingly for capitalism 2
Maybe things are different in Europe, I can’t say. I don’t live there.
Not trying to be a nerd, citing sources and saying “uhm actually” I just very much enjoy, Lemmy, Lemmy.world, and the posters of Lemmy.ml, I just don’t care for Reddit or the admins of .ml, grad, or hexbear.
Sorry for being vague. I meant specific places like news and politics on there. Those mods censored pro Luigi sentiment after the ceo got blessed.
Mods blamed admins and “law” but funny enough the main luigi is on that server also!
So mods are just lying sacks of shit and that shill regime propaganda.
I will never forget Jordan Lund sliding into another in related community where luigi discussion was happening and letting everyone know that he monitoring it. He was not a mod for the community. JFC 🤡
The banhammer is a disagree button.
.world is fine as long as you know how to speak in plausible deniability.
Good :D
Free Luigi, and compensate him with a few million dollars from United Healths bloated coffers for inflicting so much anguish on this innocent young man.
Fucking excellent. Hope we see a hundred more Luigi’s.
I have a message to all the troubled youth, the disgruntled workers, and the horny incels.
For legal notes. All of the follow should happen exclusively in a video game. And also a /S to top it off.
The fad of shooting up random kids at school. People in offices, and young boys and girls simply socializing? It’s very old hat. Boring. I propose a new trend… target your rage against the CEOs.
Troubled youth? Those rich CEOs are rhe bullies taking you on now and have never changed. So they did it to be a bigger asshole to everyone. They also are the reason why you are so traumatized… because they literally took candy from babies! More specifically from YOU when you were a baby! Are you going to let them get away with that? It’ll make you the popular kid! The thing you always wanted to be!
For the incels? They are the real reason you cannot get laid! They put all those hyper unrealistic male ads that only show ripped underwear models banging all the girls aged 18 to 80 while leaving you to jack off. It is a proven fact that they also have secret harems of girls that they are all hoarding for themselves and they are truely douchebags about it, too! They are actively telling all women and girls to steer clear of you for fun! So rent that truck and give them one a one way trip to hell!
For disgruntled workers… come on! You think your immediate boss and asshole coworkers are your enemy? I mean they might be nasty people but that is only because of the stress added by the guy on top. Also you know how much some of your asskisser coworkers admire the guy? Just imagine how PISSED they would if he received a few choice lead injections!
I think a lot about a post I read that said something like “You hate every piece of capitalism, but you won’t connect the dots to see the big picture.”
People want to blame the queers or the blacks or the muslims or whatever, but it’s the capitalist class that’s shitting up the world. That’s why everything’s expensive and shitty, the environment is collapsing, everyone’s stressed and can’t get enough sleep.
If they happen, the media will never let us see them. Just assume it’s happening and we’re all fed up with this shit.
Maybe they are happening and we don’t hear

There are these blips but none of them really match the impact we got here. Maybe they learned to play them down, maybe the story as compelling.
The United Healthcare incident has the same vibe as Occupy Wall Street. That makes rich people very nervous.
Whilst, I understand your emotion. Always remember violence is never the answer. While, I agree one of the consequences of consensus based discussion is giving idiots a voice but by doing so is the only way forward.
You would let nazi Germany take over the world instead of going to war, because violence is never the answer?
Violence is absolutely the fucking answer sometimes.
I mean due to unfortunate timing my job switched over to them, but right before so they didn’t get to negotiate very well.
