I love that some people are now calling him The Insurance Adjuster. That is just awesome, and I wish him well.
Pro-tip, have him appear in Marvel Comics and meet Spidey and Daredevil. And they DON'T call him out*. *Check how they react to the Punisher.
Getting this sort of energy right now - YT doesn't seem to want to use the "start at X timepoint" option but it's 1min exactly. And YT execs might want to pay some fucking attention.
Nah. That title should go to the guy who takes on this kind of scum the way Tim Hutton did in Leverage.
given the mood of the internet in the US I think insurance company people should be the most worried in case of the purge or the fall of the social contact and laws. Good news for lawyers and politicians, they don't seem to be the bottom of the scumbucket anymore. Even pedophiles and animal fuckers might be able top raise their heads above insurance company execs.
All else aside, the sheer glee exhibited at this event paints a really interesting picture of where US society is at the moment. The extent of it is surprising to me.
If only you had seen the last year from the inside. I think we are lucky donald trump hasn't taken credit for the murder.
UHC has a profit this year of $240 billion dollars, and the highest rejected claim rate in the country. I'd say the picture it paints is that Americans are finally beginning to realize who's really out to get them.
I see what you’re saying. And you are correct, that is an accurate picture of US society at the moment, but I wouldn’t characterize the emotions exhibited as “glee” so much as just an incredible lack of empathy for the dude, his family, others in his position, and anyone who expresses any empathy for those listed. As for the shooter. maybe the guy fashions himself a modern day Batman. And chicks dig that.
Did/do people like him expect anyone to buy that line? Businesses are not motivated to do the best thing for their customers, except if it's an incidental byproduct of making them more money.
People are exhausted. They're watching these corporations pick their pockets and then deny them the very health services they depend upon to live. Most of us, here in the US, have been on the ass end of an insurance denial at least once. I have many times, including for basics like insulin which was once rejected as being "not medically necessary." Insulin. For a diabetic. So yeah, people kind of feel that if the legal system can't stop these robber barons, then other means will just have to avail themselves, and they have little to no pity for when it happens.
I've said on here many times, "evil must be opposed". Sometimes, that means protesting an injustice. Sometimes that means voting for a candidate you wouldn't normally support. Sometimes that means shooting a motherfucker in the street because he will never be prosecuted for his crimes. It's all very situational.
Completely agreed. It's not that people want violence. Hell, look how long these guys have gotten away with the awful things they've done, how many innocent people have died as a result of business decisions that knowingly cause these outcomes. If anything, people have been far too lenient for too long. Now a little violence might spur things back in the direction they need to go. It's not something we should want to do at the drop of a hat, but as a final warning? An ultimatum? Absolutely.
Never as a first resort, but the system has made it nigh on impossible to hold these people to account, and they commit acts of violence against us every day. After all, watch as a child dies of cancer because their treatments were denied coverage, and I wouldn't blame a father one bit for taking recompense into his own hands. If it seems that there is going to be no actual justice for these grievous acts against innocent lives, then the mantle gets picked up by people willing to act outside of the system that has tied so many hands in favor of our oppressors and abusers. Sometimes violence *is* the solution. Not always, and not preferably, but it can be.
