Godspeed to the man who actually did something and got the United Healthcare CEO.
To those denouncing the gunman: why? Everyone left, right, and center has been wanting accountability for 'people' like this for years. Someone comes along and gives this CEO the accountability he deserves and they get upset?
This is what accountability looks like when all the civilized trappings are taken away. Get used to it. You'll be seeing much more as the decline continues.
@Based_Accelerationist East Asians don't either, but you're otherwise right.

I can not legally endorse violence but I will say that if eye for an eye tooth for a tooth lung for a lung was endorsed in the court system then major tobacco company CEOs would have stopped selling the kind of products they did or changed the type of products they produced
@shortstories @Based_Accelerationist Those industries have long since stopped pretending their products are good or even neutral for one's body. On top of that, they sell a product. You buy the product, you get the product. This is not the case with insurance companies. You have to pay them, but they don't have to cover you. Insurance companies tactics to hose customers are well documented.

"Mennonites in Maine are protesting the state's auto insurance mandate. Some Mennonites are selling their farms and leaving the state, and others are threatening to do so. The Amish and Mennonites view insurance as a form of gambling. They'd rather take care of their own (although going without insurance is a gamble too, a gamble that nothing will happen!)"

@shortstories @Based_Accelerationist If health insurance worked like auto insurance, things would be much better. Not perfect, but better. No one uses car insurance for oil changes. Health insurance should be for emergencies like auto insurance is. Health insurance in the US in its current form has all manner of perverse incentives that reduce care quality and increase price.
True "skin in the game" for people at that level was deliberately engineered out of the system decades ago.
So pleased to see it coming back in it's true form.
In ancient Rome, an architect-builder was very well compensated but also held accountable for his failures.
If he built a bridge, his family had to live underneath it for a year to guarantee it's integrity while armies & cavalry crossed it.
No oopsies, no takebacks. We risk our soldiers, you risk you & your family.
@RegalBeagle Instead of denouncing him, people should be helping him, sending the police false testimonies and obstructing the law as much as they can. The few individuals out there with the willingness and resourcefulness to commit violence against the collective, are to be looked up to and protected.
Jews do this, blacks do this, everyone does this except for effeminate white people who keep thinking they live in "high trust societies" where collectivism keeps them safe and empowered.
