You know there's not even a whole letter's difference between CFO and CEO.
Just sayin'
Ah yes, the American dream. Making billions by siphoning the blood-money from the dying you denies Healthcare to.
By the same logic, let me introduce you to the story of a young man rising from a failed Austrian artist to a national hero…

Um, they kinda left one pretty important thing out of that tweet.
I love how "overseeing $280B of revenue" is supposed to be some indicator of the guy's goodness. "Wealth = virtue" indeed.

Oh man.... I really want downvote this but like your point is right but like oh God fucking damn do we really need a post pointing out that the CEO asshole had a hobby? No duh.
He also had a job sentencing poor sick people to death.
We all know plenty about him from the boot being pushed into our throats from people like him and his friends who are all friends and think we'll of each other but...
Man the level of disconnect from these people. Completely can't understand the language of the oppressed and why we don't see their grand vision we are not a part of.
It doesn't offend me if you downvote. Let me also point out he pleaded guilty to drunk driving in 2017, and became the CEO in the same month, so his regard for humans is pretty low. 
LOL I just read that he didn't even live with his wife and his entire life of living the American Dream was a lie...
"They call it the American Dream cause you have to be asleep to believe in it"
Meritocracy can suck my ass.
Edit: oh shit that was your other post!
You could make a similar feel good post about basically any evil person in history. It's pretty easy when you ignore the evil things they do
Anyone else think that dead chump looks a lot like Theodore Chipmunk?

Fuck him even more then. Since he comes from humble beginnings he should know what it's like not being rich, but he just decided to be a greedy asshole.
It makes the things UHC did to low income customers even worse, in my opinion. He knew what they were going through and still hurt them.
It's a bizarre thing to detail the man's entire life EXCEPT the part that was evil as if it somehow is irrelevant.
"He grew up working class and then betrayed his roots. What a swell guy!"
The only thing him and Luigi have in common is being traitors to their class.
Fuck, the American dream sounds disgusting.
Idk what the American dream was, but today it's to get the fuck out.
Worse. People earnestly believe it's attainable and desirable.
He was immaculately concepted to a slave from a traditional farming planet whose athletic ability made him a star in the pod raising circuit. Despite such humble origins he was able to rise to become not only one of the few members of the venerable jedi order but distinguished himself with his valor in the clone wars. He even earned a seat on the jedi council. This man - not the person who dismembered him in cold blood - was everything that was right and good about the galaxy.......
Now why can't they use this image every time they report on his death?
Make this picture a post and I'll upvote it! (I don't want to steal and post it myself, but might if no one else does)

This country is broken. The powers at be ask us to view wealth as righteousness. Regular humans are expendable. We must protect those that have the most by grinding up those with the least.
And they're trying to export this sentiment to the rest of the world.
I'd say dark times are ahead but that statement ignores all this darkness we find ourselves writhing in.
Yeah. You can see it in the way that those "investing to get rich too" types talk about how what they are doing is right and that anyone could accomplish it if they were good as well as if the spare income to invest is not an issue worth considering because if they were moral they would have money and that they will soon be wealthy too because they are good.
All American religions are based on wealth. Even those who don't think themselves religious pray to it every day.
We are at the end of what we have known and not yet in the time tomorrow. Now is the time of Monsters.
“One of the world’s most important companies…”???
So let me make sure I have this straight: Grew up in stereotypical small town Americana, undoubtedly observed the people around him struggling, had an opportunity to get lucky, learned nothing from his upbringing, and elected to deliberately contribute to making everyone else's problems worse now that he was no longer "little people."
We don't have a cannon anywhere on the planet capable of firing people like this far enough into space.
How’s that 2 inch buried cock taste like robert? Since you love gobbling dead bilionaire cock so much.
And Bin Laden made 20 children with 5 wives that were all loved.
Fuckin puke material!
Hitler loved animals.
Your point?
The worst people in the world are still people. Doesn't mean we have to excuse their evil.
Hitler's picture in the media if he died today:
Anyone who comes from humble beginnings should understand the struggle of the common man, and have empathy.
If you come from humble beginnings and then work your way up into a position of tremendous power, and then think "I've made my fortune now, so fuck the poors" then that's EVEN WORSE, not better!
