UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

[Smithfield Ham]

Doctors don't get paid unless they actually get to operate, so denials and delays represent a missed check for them. A patient going into medical debt also represents a bunch of money they won't be getting. Needless to say, a dead patient represents someone who can never give them a single cent ever again.

I see we're at the stage of societal collapse where CEOs begin dying in the streets.

I would assume such a scenario would be a sign of social revitalization akin to other revolutions. But I'm not a blackpilled chud, so what do I know

 

[ArnoldPalmer]

I've never seen bipartisan unity like I have with this assassination. I find it incredibly based and I'm glad that faggot fuck is dead, and I hope this becomes a trend. Fucking kill em all.

 

[mugsy]

Yeah keep cheering on your left wing violence retarded faggot. United Health has 400k employees. Maybe you'll want to get all of them as well. I won't go to hell for not condoning violence, but you will.

Lefties are more prone to violence but I wouldn't call this a lefty murder. Looks like his death is being cheered by both sides of the aisle.

"Deny, Defend, Depose" makes me think of the Combine from Half-Life.


Vital alert. All stabilization teams, converge on counter-civil infection point. Cauterization authorized. Code: Deny, Defend, Depose.

If you want to know why healthcare is so messed up start with the Christopher Hitchens interview from the 90s when he was writing about US healthcare. He goes over how much they charge for the use of an operating table. Not cleaning the table after, the use of the table. Which I mean, that’s equipment they can claim or depreciate anyway because it’s a business use.

The healthcare systems and insurance cos have been fucking people over since at least the early 90s. Greedy doctors usually go into something where they can not deal with insurance - fields like plastic surgery or dermatology for medspas.

Your doctor is as frustrated by insurance denials as you are. They know the healthcare systems are gross, too. But doctors kind of can’t go on strike the way garbagemen can or people literally will die. They actually do have a hard time flexing their muscle especially early in their careers.

It would be interesting to see the cope from the other side if he manages to kills someone they don't like.

Mercenary, but not entirely untrue. Above and beyond ethics, callings and Hippocratic Oath, a doctor has a clear business interest in keeping you alive. Insurance companies less so. If you die before they have had to payout all the money you have given them over the years, they win!

 

[Tanner Glass]

I hope this guy gets caught.

After he gets like 15-20 more of them and then gets bored and/or feels his job is done.

To quote the great bard Weird Al Yankovic:

"[I'm a] disgrace to the AMA,
'cuz my patients die before they can pay."

Go look at /r/salary sometime on reddit and see what anesthesiologists make for knocking people out in the US. They work less than half the year and get paid over $750k.

In Spain and other western Euro countries they make around $200k, in places like Hungary they make about $25k and don't seem to do too much worse than the ones here.

"Doctors should get paid" is fine. "Doctors should be paid nearly a million bucks annually while taking 30 weeks off a year" isn't. They can only do this because the AMA acts like a real guild and deliberately keeps the number of entrants to the field extremely artificially low, to protect wages.

As a counter point. Just because it is clear that you have no understanding of what goes into the costs and Salaries of healthcare provider's. Anesthesiologists do not make that free and clear. Remember every practicing MD is on some level a business unto themselves. With certain business expenses. The big one that every physician pays individually is Malpractice Insurance. With Anesthesiologists being top of the heap for the cost of such. When you see what any American Doctor makes per year, a minimum of 60% of that number goes to insurance. And anesthesiologists do not "only work half a year". They work twice as much as you or I in that seeming half year they work. 80+ hour weeks are normal. Anesthesiologists main job is to more or less be prepared at any moment to raise the dead. They are your lifeline. If you feel they get paid too much I suggest you champion tort reform that puts a cap on Malpractice payouts like the other Western Euro Countries you mention.

There are very good reason doctors should make a lot of money.
You're comparing a specialist to any other career track when it is anything but. Doctors are one of the most important occupations that is always understaffed. Doctors work weird shifts and a lot of them are overworked to where it strains their relationships and prevents them from doing a lot in their life. For example, a specialist my wife goes to does surgeries in the morning starting at 5am, then handles clinical visits in the afternoon.
Doctors are in debt and in school for most of their youthful years. Whereas a lot of professionals go to undergrad, then get a job, they go through undergrad, then study for and get into med school. Then they potentially branch off into specializations. After school, they spend another 4 years in residency, where they make shit wages, working 100+ hour weeks, all while studying more.
If they quit at any point in this process, they still have incurred debt for all the schooling they have gone through. You can't shorten this process without dropping the quality of doctors, leading to more loss of life due to shitty doctors.
Its not a process any normal person can go through. Every time you take away carrots, you lose more people willing to put up with the whole process. Put a cap of 500k on specialist pay? It doesn't seem like much to you, but you just told every potential anesthesiologist that their future earnings are subject to politics. Whats the point of sacrificing so much when people who don't understand what you put up with can give you a paycut just because they don't think its fair. Obamacare fucked the current supply of doctors. My friend who was in med school at the time it passed, told me the instructors were all dooming about how being a doctor isn't worth it anymore. How many people do you think they turned off because retards took doctors for granted?

I think future assassins will need to move to long range. Nothing crazy but about 100 yards or so. The executive security I am familiar with is concerned with is out to around 30 yards.

Very few can control 100 yards out or so.

 

[Level99Manchild]

Who gives a shit about any of this. Are you gonna go out and assassinate some dude who supported the violation of the human rights of some chinks halfway across the globe? Yeah nobody else is going to either.

Get a grip retard, or better yet an interest that isn't fucking video games, you mushbrained idiot

Sorry, but you can't be selective with what you want to care about if you're going to play the "fuck the CEO" shit. It's like a feminist bitching about women getting screwed over, but purposely ignores shit like the Yazidi Genocide.

Except that's not why Bobby Kotick got a bad rap. Back in better days he was just part of Big Game and that was inherently bad, but in the 2020s it was because the talentless women and other vermin were complaining about stupid shit, and it was a rare case with the employees being shittier than the boss.

Either way, the industry does matter; not that some CEOs are "good" but health insurance, banking, and "investment firms" (among others) are the types of things to look out for.

Yet Bobby was okay with all of the shit going on when Blizzard got exposed. I'm not cutting any CEO slack especially in industries like food and automobile/tech.

 

[Angry Shoes]

Yeah keep cheering on your left wing violence retarded faggot

Okay

 

[redboxrazor]

Welcome you absolute nigger who just entered the thread and clearly hasn't read the past 60 pages.
This thread has ~1200 messages and I have seen precisely about 5-10 messages that were "sucking the CEO's dick"

Fuck off if you're not even going to read the thread, come in here and make baseless claims about what people are saying without even reading the thread. You're a faggot.

There have been multiple posts pointing out how this particular killing has both ResetEra, Plebbit, Tweeter and Kiwifarms united in almost universal praise over this happening.

You dumb fucking retard. "this thread" and no thread is a fucking hivemind to begin with. Go back to reddit you fucking sperg.

I hope your health insurance covers lobotomies because you might come across as slightly more intelligent if you got one.

I am talking about the original post, faggot. It reads like a love letter to the CEO.

 

[Heather Mason 2]

Yeah keep cheering on your left wing violence retarded faggot. United Health has 400k employees. Maybe you'll want to get all of them as well. I won't go to hell for not condoning violence, but you will.

Like someone earlier in the thread said, Conservatives are not ball-gargling corporatists anymore. Go suck down some Round-Up, take your Ozempic, and get the most expensive Blue Cross Blue Shield plan you can afford if you feel so bad a literal demon died. He'd see you gutted from head to toe if it meant he gets the company a 10% YoY profit increase in perpetuity

Violence to the wicked is mercy to the meek you retarded faggot

“Brian was an incredibly loving, generous, talented man who truly lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives,”

The slain CEO was “a stand up guy, a good dude,” said one investor who had previously dined with Thompson, according to Forbes. “I’ve never met anyone who had anything bad to say about him.”

He was such a great guy that someone who probably had a loved one denied help and died as a result wanted justice.

Dude was shady as fuck.

Since this book seems pretty relevant here is a pdf copy of Delay, Deny, Defend. Apparently now #1 on Amazon.

Insurance claims being denied don't get near enough attention. Taylor lorenz doxing Blue Shield CEO probably sparked the anesthesia rule change from it being not covered for the duration of some surgeries.

 

[just Reading a post]

“I’ve never met anyone who had anything bad to say about him.”

That is because you don't meet anyone who needs what his company produces. Talk to them people and you will see the bad things.

This inaccurate. You are implying that there is no perverse incentive between among doctors, hospitals, HMO's, and insurers to provide less than good care to patients. That simply is NOT the case. I wonder why, and where, you draw your conclusions from.

 

[Snekposter]

New Yorkers are notoriously loyal, altruistic and inclined to do what’s right over collecting a monetary reward.

They're also kind hearted and forgiving towards people who they feel have wronged them or others like them. A category which I am certain Brian Thompson is definitely not in.

This dude was so hated that everyone from Reddit to Kiwi Farms agrees he had it coming

Reddit, KiwiFarms, Stormfront, even REEsetEra had to issue a ban warning for anyone who feel like posting in support of the killer.

The MK 23 was a product of drunk Navy Seals and HK getting infinity money to make the ultimate 45 acp handgun with no expenses spared. It's 4 pounds. It weighs as much as some rifles. It is fucking giant.

You can also use it as a blunt weapon in melee combat, which has no doubt happened many times due to the Ork-like intellectual levels of the typical SEAL.

The retards at the NYPD fell for the Welrod meme:

At this point Gun Jesus is going to snap and start murdering false prophets and idolaters.
