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!

Decent men don’t leverage suffering for profit.

They forgot to mention that his wife and he separated in 2018, keeping it secret for years. It was revealed after his death.

Not that I think there's anything bad about being separated/divorced, but it'd be a lie to paint him as a family man.

I guess his criminal record for drunk driving also doesn't fit the narrative.

They also made sure to mention that his kids go to public schools. And they've never missed a meal or any health care or been cold or hungry or anything. What difference?

This example shows how media is your enemy...

They spin the facta for the owner class, every single time

And it works too. Well until this dead piece of shit... Something changed hopefully

Brian Thompson WAS living the American Dream! He got to kill THOUSANDS of Men Women and Children EVERY DAY and get paid MILLIONS for doing it!

When one of the first things you mention about him is "$280B of revenue" as though that's a good thing in the context of health insurance, yeah, fuck you.

Oh! Oh! Do Hitler next! Talk about how he served his country in war, how he was a painter and a successful politician and then leave out the "other details" about him.

No he was a psychopath like pretty much all CEOs

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Perhaps this is all true and he was a relatively decent guy, but we will never know that for sure. What we do know for certain is that he was one many horrible cunts responsible for the harm and despair of far too many innocent people just trying to live normal, healthy lives. The nation is getting fucking tired of this bullshit and as a result the only part of this rich assholes legacy that really matters anymore is the one where he is a shitty proxy for all our anger and frustrations.

Seems like drawing this kind of attention to yourself when the masses are looking for the next person to bring to the guillotine is a weird choice.

What do you expect from a CFO of mergers and acquisitions? They’re more inhuman than healthcare execs, if that’s possible, since their entire job is to buy companies and fire people, thus leaving them completely without insurance.
