Open letter to executive committees:
That feeling you’re feeling right now? The one where you’re scared, at every moment of every day, at least a little, sometimes a lot, but never not scared?
Yeah, the people you’re scared of feel that from about age five until they die, for all manner of reasons. They know how to go on with that fear inside them. You don’t. When - not if, when - shit goes sideways and you’ve got the resources that people need, they’re going to come take that shit from you, and there’s not a goddamned thing you’ll be able to do about it.
It’s the same feeling parents of children with cancer feel when you deny their child treatment. The combination of fear and rage. You’ve had years of getting comfortable with handing out the fear, now you’re starting to learn what it means to have the rage come looking for you.
The whole point of insurance is that a bunch of people pay a bit of money so that none of those people have to choose between tragedy and financial ruin. Ideally, it is a 100% socialist contract.
When the insurance company denies a claim, or otherwise stands in the way of someone receiving timely treatment, that contract is broken. It’s only a matter of time before someone who has been wronged comes to extract their pound of flesh, and I’m franlky surprised it hasn’t happened much sooner.
That’s why this incident has generated so much indifference towards someone stalking and shooting someone else on the street in broad daylight. Because all of us have experienced that contract being broken. All of us are owed a pound of flesh, and we’re vicariously receiving it.
Running insurance companies (again, insurance is ideally socialist) as capitalist endeavors (profit above everything, funneled to owners) is inherently abusive, and we all instinctively know this.
Agreed.
Shareholders should never be part of the healthcare business.
It shouldn’t be a business at all.
Why do companies always forget that web archive exists?
The thing companies are trying to take down?
They don’t forget it exists, they just haven’t quite managed to destroy it yet.
And yet most of them are public companies. Who file annual reports. Which names the top executives. /facepalm
And there’s Wikipedia, archive.org and the Wall Street Journal. It’s not exactly going to stop anyone.
Here ya go. Just a little starter
What about a deck of cards for healthcare CEOs like we did in the Iraq with the most wanted high ranking officials?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most-wanted_Iraqi_playing_cards
I like this one because anyone arguing this is wrong has to admit the US imperial war machine is far worse.
“As of 2024, all but four of the 52 most wanted have either died or been captured, eleven of whom have been released.”
To me, that’s a sign that they know they’re guilty.
I’m not convinced that people, yes even the bad ones, wake up, get out of bed, and think to themselves “let’s do evil today”. Rather, I think people tell themselves lies about how their actions are morally justified for some greater good, or at least remain willfully ignorant (i.e. psychopaths), or just complicit in a rotten system (passive bystanders).
Sometimes I jump on reddit and it wants me to checkout r/austrian_economics and its basically people doing just that.
Good. Be afraid mfers. Live in constant fear.
So they’re admitting that their companies are just as bad? Interesting.
No way to find out who the CEO of a company is if they do not put it in the “about us” section of their website.
Yeah if it’s a publicly traded company doesn’t this information need to be public?
That’s kind of the definition of publicly traded. You don’t get all the employees, but you get to know who is making you money.
It’s OK. Politicalmemes made a list with pictures, names and salaries.
Link?

This is the kind of thing DOGE will target. Any friction in the gov that slows the greed must go.

Don’t forget def-14a. This is where united health group puts their executive information (of which 3 executives made more than Brian in 2023)
Until they do away with the SEC
Thousands of employees know who these people are…
I’m not a legal / financial expert by any means. But I think info about the executives, board, etc., has to be published in things like the securities prospectus for the companies, etc.
You wouldn’t be scared if you were innocent. Just sayin’.
Archive.org will bring them back if you just gotta know. Yay!
Do they think we are stupid?
Oh wait… never mind.
