    Luigi Mangione did more for the American health care system than any health insurance CEO. Just to clarify, killing a man is deplorable but the fact that his actions sparked these debates and brought them to everyone’s attention should make everyone aware of what his actions caused.

      killing a man is deplorable

      Killing a cold blooded murderer is… well, even if you don’t believe it’s justice it’s definitely not something to cry about.

        I’ve seen arguments for it being self defense, especially if you have united insurance.

        They’ve “legally” killed thousands of people through paperwork.

        Not to mention CEO has to be the most replaceable job ever. It’s the one job I’m 100% chatgpt could do better, and save these companies millions every year.

          The problem with that is you can’t easily sCapEgOat ChatGPT. No one would feel satisfied when they tell us “because of the company image after this recent scandal, CEO GPT will be replaced with CEO Copilot.”

            This is such a good point. That’s always the story. Company does something horrific - almost certainly at the behest of investors. People call them out for it, CEO gets “fired”, company takes no accountability, and they place another CEO that will tow the investor’s line.
