7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

The CEO was on his way to implement policies that would kill thousands of people, and injure tens of thousands.
I see no moral gray area.
Because you refuse to
Edit: most things are a gray area. Doesn't speak well of you if you think killing a human is so black and white it shouldn't even be questioned. You motherfuckers sure ain't philosophers.
Pretty obvious I meant that if you can't see an argument for and against killing this guy you're probably not much of a thinker, at least by choice on this issue
Yeah just as rich leeches refuse to stop exploiting innoncent people and you refuse to stop bootlicking
Ah yes you dipshits knew what I meant as you are incredible mind readers
He was a CEO, not a king. He doesn't single-handedly come up with and implement these decisions.
The CEO may have been a big part of the problem, but he's not the only part. He may have even been a symptom of the problem. Was he elected, appointed? Who brought him into that position? Who didn't make the decision to remove him from that position if the opportunity arose?
EDIT: I'm not really sure why people are downvoting this. I'm not saying the CEO was innocent, I'm saying he's not the only one who holds the guilt for the decision.
So what you're saying is, the job's not done yet?
There's a question of where the line would be drawn.
But do you kill everyone responsible for a joint decision?
Do you kill everyone who benefitted from it? Shareholders, indirect investors, spouses and children...?
How many of your loved ones have they already murdered?
How many more will have to die before the owners of this country decide that a for-profit healthcare system isn't worth the threat those profits generate?
The death toll of the health insurance industry currently stands at like 68,000/year. Health, life, and medical insurance companies combined employ about 900,000 people. We could end the insurance industry overnight and the lives saved would outnumber the jobs lost in like 13 years.
You’re right we have a lot more work to do.
When it comes to money they're accountable and deserve millions.
When it comes to the impact of their leadership they couldn't possibly be accountable.
You're hopelessly wrong and un-abashedly trying to defend ghouls.
If the CEO makes the big bucks then they share the most of the blame. You can't have one without the other.
Also don't deliberately ignore the fact that for a brief moment in time after the CEO's death, there was a drastic reduction in the number of claims being denied.
No, I'm not.
This will definitely depend on the particulars of an organization, but usually it's not just one singular CEO who's getting rich by making these decisions.
I wasn't aware of this, and I'm not sure why you would describe that as "deliberately ignoring" it...lol
