Man I got REALLY excited for a second. Chances are he won't go back to NYC unless they make him, though.

Hopefully this is the first step down the path of eating the rich. The inscriptions on the shell casings are fucking oerfect.
tjinme
I disagree. If you want to spend your life taking from others and exploiting those you have power over, make sure everyone knows it.

Wow, either some people didn't get the reference or they REALLY didn't like it. Didn't think people hated Diary of a Crazed Mimbanite!

I often wonder, do billionaires just not think about what happens when they die? The impact you have is the closest thing there is to immortality, the way you affect others and how that reverberates across time. So why choose for that impact to be shitty? Why choose to profit off making other people's lives worse, when you could use your money to fund projects that could make a significant difference?

Valuable life lesson.

Are we sure this is the reason for the celebration?
Maybe we need to recreate the experiment several times to be sure.
Relayu
Kinda changing my mind on gun control, don't know why.
Larktonguesinadicecup
Is it because you realized letting the people who want everyone else who doesn't fit their fascist ideal dead retain and use hard power while refusing to engage with hard power yourself is a recipe for your own extinction?

To be fair, the ewoks were playing drums with the helmets of dead storm Troopers and were serving "meat" of some kind....
Larktonguesinadicecup
I'm totally against literally eating the rich. Gross. Just dump them somewhere.
Unclescam
Just don't eat the brains. I bet the meat has a lot of intramuscular fat though...
friendsofsandwiches
And eat you.

Allegedly a suppressor was used. According to law, it's a health care device to protect hearing loss. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/nyregion/unitedhealthcare-shooting-suspect-gun-silencer.html
ElbowDeep
I got 3, they're fun lol
NumptyDumptyLump
Oh, also, lol.
SamSpayed
So if it's a health care device, can I use my FSA money to buy one?

I have "hearted this post twice" so umgur should take this as a double up vote. I'm pounding that like key.....

Subsonic rounds and a manual action, too. Dude knew his shit
Gargwill
BBC are reporting that the police say they think the weapon is a BT Station Six 9, so basically a modern Welrod.
wilagames
Does anybody know where Karl Fairburne was during the shooting?
IhasTehinternets
I mean... I did armed security in a big marble building with insane acoustics that is a prime terrorism target and I always wished we could have suppressors so if we ever did have a gunfight there we at least wouldn't all be deaf afterwards. (We were expected to engage an active shooter if such a situation arose.) Obviously, that was never gonna happen because not enough people know about gun stuff and the optics of having "silencers" would be terrible.
Sen7ryGun
But why would you put a silencer on your optics?

Dang, we're really going to need that cheaper health care now!

I was feeling truly nihilistic since the election, but this cheered my blackened shriveled heart right up!
varonicaED
Oh no, we have all been told that CEO's are so important to the working of corporations that the death of the CEO must mean chaos and imminent collapse of the entire corporation unless he is replaced ASAP! What's that you say? No-one under the level of board member even noticed any difference? What's that you also say? The corporation went right on working as if nothing happened at all? So he wasn't necessary to the functioning of the corporation at all? So why bother replacing him?
Tardis1217
If the CEO abruptly takes a 2 month long vacation, the company will chug along, business as usual.
If the head IT guy abruptly takes a 2 month long vacation, chaos will ensue at that company.
If the janitor abruptly takes a 2 month long vacation, people will be finding jobs elsewhere.
HelloThere1812
AND why bother paying the CEO an insane ton of money?
Ticmea
Because surely it will trickle down to all the folks at the bottom, right? Right?
Jarjarthejedi
I've worked at a few companies where the CEO can literally disappear to "retreats" for a month and nobody even notices until they get back and start booking meetings to brag about their vacation to the alps or whatever. Never once seen a company actually require any level of work from a CEO that wouldn't be equally doable by a mascot...
nicksapsford
A mascot is actually not too far from what the ceo role should be. Maintaining the overall vision of the organization while inspiring and exciting the people casting out that mission
skathir
Great,sounds like a skill on par with anyone else, or less. Pay accordingly.
elemcsere
I've worked 15 years to a CRO, had 7-8 of these useless ticks. We just called them by their one sentence defining trait : the triangle guy (liked triangle shaped charts), the broker (industry naive guy from wall street), timesheet guy (only cared about the billable hours) and the last one should have a name but a lot of us are not there to name him. Seen a dip in the stock and made a massacare equivalent of a layoff.
DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
I feel like for a lot of corporate level folks, this is a teachable moment.
theworldcouldbeflat
This is a teachable moment for Democrats*
InsanitySpark
Nah, they don't care. Most millionaires and billionaires are completely detached from reality. They will just increase security and that's it.
See if it starts happening every other week - things will change.
nubblebun
Oh, I don't think so. I think we might need to repeat the lesson the time or two. They are slow to catch on.
greentights
Anthem apparently reversed its decision to not cover all required anesthesia yesterday
eggmuffin
"Should I protect myself by exploiting the poors to a somewhat less egregious degree? Nah. I'll invest in my private security and pay for it with even more egregious exploitation."
ProjectDA
saddly i feel they will take the wrong lesson from. less 'well it seems its wrong to rob people' and more 'these talking coin holders truely are a savage annoyance'.
they dont see us as people. we are just in the way. we seen hasbro, a fucking toy company say so. imagine what a company that makes money off of you not getting the life saving treatment you need.
CyberneticWhelk
The lesson is "We should find a way to make them blame liberals for the things that make them angry"
scarabrae
*chefs kiss*
zombiebatman
I’m happy for them
uplookdont
Yeah but the lesson the rest of the worlds 1% will learn isn't hey we were wrong lets change our ways, its the same one we joke about when someone dies from jerking off too many times. i.e "that's the limit"
unsubstantiatednonsense
Unfortunately, it won’t be. It will just lead to increased security cost for executives of already bloated health insurance companies.
gobblinal
Might be teachable, but is it learnable?
beeeeeeerkaaaaa
No. Psychopaths think they are special. This doesn't apply to them.
TheobromineAddict
Nah. At least one insurance company is forcing it's employees to sign a pledge that they will protect the executives.
magicrhombus
They're going to learn something, but probably not what you want them to.
muchosnuggles
Most can't even open a pdf, you think they will learn from this?
AsAHistorian
Literally on the news tonight, there was a story about a contract dispute with Blue Cross Blue Shield that could potentially result in a lot of customers' rates increasing, and boy I tell ya, I would NOT want to be the guy raising people's health insurance rates today.
YourBiologicalStepDadUncleRob
Yes. We must raise rates to pay for extra corporate security.
TheobromineAddict
Not if this is any indication: Forcing employees to sign an executive safety pledge (Not mine) /gallery/6rkSPC8
notyoubizness
Uh huh. Sure.
silentjay01
Too bad many C-Suite folks were terrible students and only got to where they are today because of their parents' wealth & connections.
3nd3rwiggin
They are already removing all the information about corporate leadership from their websites.
wtwvi
It is for middle management and below. Everyone in the upper echelon doesn't care. Yet.
daychilde
Will they learn?
Yes, but it will be the wrong lesson, I'm sure.
uplookdont
I said it above but you're not wrong, the takeaway will be "that's the limit" not "hey, ate we the bad guys?"
NotAParsnipInDisguise
Lurnin is communiss. /s
kickmyballsrealhard
More security. That's all they'll learn.
Alavar
And they'll pass the costs onto us lol
skathir
It's easy to be cynical but also they may think twice before pushing the corporate enshittification version of the Overton window.
In the US, depends also on how closely they'll end up married to the authoritarians. Appease vs oppress. I do not think they are fully able to feel secure in the wisdom and legal position and assured customer docility for fully advocating Option B yet.
skathir
All authoritarians are terrified of their populace. Never forget that. They devote a LOT of time to keeping people in their place.
IupvoteAussies
Madeleine Albright argued that fascists aren't though, so might be a push
skathir
I haven't read her work so I can't respond to it specifically. Is she arguing that dictators don't devote a huge amount of time and energy and violence and threat of violence to keep those who vastly outnumber them in their place? I've never seen an authoritarian regime that didn't need to emit a constant, careful and considered stream of propaganda and lies, and constantly judge the line between offering the carrot and wielding the stick.
eggmuffin
And don't forget The Enemy. You don't sympathize with The Enemy, do you?
funone77
The most important lesson learned will be if you run a people grinding machine that doesn't kill all it's victims, you should hire a security detail. Going to be a boon to the private security industry.
casualgenderquestion2718
Provos said something to Thatcher, if you can recall. Something about getting lucky one time.

Well at least someone got one of them. That's something.

I read that he normally has a security detail (payed for by United Healthcare) but he was just crossing the street from his hotel to an investor meeting so they didn't think it was necessary.
NergalJester
So soon they won't even feel safe crossing the street? That's the best news I've heard all day.
NotSomoneElse68
The precision makes me think that he had someone on the inside.
