Technology@lemmy.world•Moderators Across Social Media Struggle to Contain Celebrations of UnitedHealthcare CEO’s AssassinationEnglish
0·2 years agoI mean that’s a fair thought.
But even by USA capitalist standards, this specific man was a monster who in a just world wouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anything. The world is slightly better off without such a greedy and heartless man in it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
0·2 years agoI am a pacifist, and I recognize the danger of encouraging/pardoning vigilantism. There are people I feel are heroes, who others view as villains. People should argue, debate, and put pressure as much as possible with non violence… but that is clearly not working for the ultra wealthy who are so insulated from 99.9% of what we can do.
The murdered man was, even by US capitalist standards, excessively evil. In a functioning and just system he would have had life in prison with no chance of parole for 1000+ counts of at the very least man slaughter for the millions of people whose health care was delayed or prevented. The world is a slightly better place without that level of extreme greed and heartlessness in it.
I also feel like the main point of prison “SHOULD” be Prevention and Rehabilitation. Which if the Attacker was personally harmed by a CEO and lashed out, I don’t think prison can accomplish either for him. I guess the US gov probably disagrees and thinks he should be rehabilitated as someone who is okay with being exploited by CEOs.
But I do want all evidence laid out, I want a jury to determine if he’s unhinged and a danger to others, or someone who was hurt on a fundamental level and lashed out. We of course assume it’s the second one, but we don’t know yet.
Juries and judges will sometimes use the kid gloves when dealing with people who kill their abusers, and I think a light sentence with the message of “murder is wrong… but so is allowing thousands to die to increase profits. So maybe don’t be so evil people wouldn’t mind giving up 10 years of their lives to see you removed from this world” would be fine.
… but also if this becomes another one of a million unsolved cases, I won’t lose a wink of sleep about it.
Why do you hate capitalism and the free market 😭
I’m just doing what’s best for the share holders!
Hear me out.
I’m gonna work to make health care more expensive, so you have to buy my service: “Make health care affordable”
Then, here’s the best part.
To save money, even after you’ve purchased my service, I won’t do that 😀
… Why are you mad, it’s just good business😭 !

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Best mobile games with 0 microtransactions?
0·2 years agoThat site is sick! TYVM!
Yeah like there are folks who are worth 10ish million who just bought a house 50ish years ago that gained a lot of value and had dual incomes that saved all their money for retirement.
100 million folks are on THIN ice, but there is probably an author or inventor out there who made something really nice and everyone they worked with was also well taken care of. Most of them are probably garbage, but not all of them have to be. Some famous actors also were well known for making sure everyone got paid what they deserved on set and were very generous.
I just don’t see getting to a billion without someone being taken advantage of on the way though.

0·3 years agoYes.
People who spend 10s of thousands of dollars on micro transactions do need help.
Said help probably needs to come at a government level banning things that were designed in a computer lab to be digital Crack.
His second attempt was so cute! Holding it in his mouth while washing cause he figured the problem with the first batch was he wasn’t holding on.
Then he was like… okay this is a non water treat.

Arabic for meering Muhammad
Or speaking Greek and saying you sailed down the river Styx.
So many good options!
