When is it okay to kill a lot of people you are supposed to be helping so you can get rich?

1. In America, every day.

[arthritisR_US]

45. OMG, that's horrific but true 😞

[XanaDUer2]

2. When indeed? Nt

[Ocelot II]

3. It's not OK to kill anybody.

[Happy Hoosier]

7. Self-defense? Killin' not-sees?

[paleotn]

22. Even Trump, Hitler, Pol Pot????

Violence is not the 1st answer. It's not even the 38th answer. But it is an answer and the right answer in certain places and at times. Is this one of those times? Maybe. Maybe not. But I do know a bunch of robber barons are watching their backs tonight. And maybe second guessing some of their hubris. That's not a bad thing.

[arthritisR_US]

44. I wonder how the gun industry is thinking?

[Coventina]

4. Very good question! I'll wait here for those outraged by the CEO's murder to explain!!

I look forward to their thoughtful analysis!!

[Emile]

9. +4

[Kaleva]

43. Many stockholders are fine with that

They are the people who vote in the board that then hire folks like the murdered CEO.

Maybe what we need is a market crash.

[Think. Again.]

5. Well done.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Because greedy billionaires bribe corrupt politicians.

Politicians then make it legal for the billionaires to murder, torture, rob, injure, scam Americans every day.

The best sociopaths don't break the law, they make the law.

[maspaha]

24. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it is moral or ethical

Morals and ethics should be paramount

[Irish_Dem]

25. Exactly my point.

Just because their evil is legal doesn't make it right.

[Passages]

8. In addition, my response is not condoning murder, it is about identifying the culprit(s).

"Kill a man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror." -- Jean Rostand

The debt forces many to make difficult sacrifices. Two-thirds of U.S. adults who've incurred health care debt who've had cancer themselves or in their family have cut spending on food, clothing or other household basics, according to a poll conducted by KFF for this project. One in 4 have declared bankruptcy or lost their home.

The financial stress from debt can hinder cancer patients' recovery and even hasten death, researchers have found.

THE REMEDY IS UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE

[Think. Again.]

10. ⬆⬆⬆THIS⬆⬆⬆

Profit out of healthcare now!

[paleotn]

23. Hit nail square on head. Well done.

[LT Barclay]

30. Another area that hardly gets mentioned is Workman's Compensation

States set the rules and often the employer is in charge of the choices of provider and treatment so that many are given substandard care with the only goal being to get them back to work.
Easy fix: universal healthcare

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. You seem nice

Welcome to DU

[Brother Buzz]

13. Why am I riffing on Groucho Marx?

[markodochartaigh]

18. Who ya gonna believe...

?si=jBvfGtLB_tPS4rxo

[Brother Buzz]

21. I believe in Lydia the Tattooed Lady

[markodochartaigh]

26. "The Wreck of the Hesperus"

Isn't that appropriate for our times!

[Brother Buzz]

29. Indeed, and like Groucho said, "You can learn a lot from Lydia."

[LT Barclay]

32. Had to read it after your comment. Quite a powerful poem. Thanks.

[markodochartaigh]

36. You're welcome,

and being a Trekkie on the spectrum myself, I love your username.

[anciano]

14. Never ....

Nature gives all life and only Nature has the right to take it away.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Now THAT's the right question.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

16. White collar crime is complicated

and on paper so It's not like really actually hurting people

[Emile]

17. It should be illegal.

[PortTack]

19. Ding ding ding....NEVER!

[AllyCat]

20. Never.

[paleotn]

27. Karma is rightous, but some forget, she's got a hell of a set of fangs.

[Skittles]

28. NO ONE IS SAYING THAT IS OK

but WTF since when do we approve of GUN VIOLENCE? Should EVERYONE working in at United Health be targeted? ENOUGH ALREADY.

[Cirsium]

33. Ridiculous

The workers at United Health don't make policy. Why would they be targeted? That is a right wing talking point, that somehow we can't oppose the management of predatory companies because the rank and file, or consumers, would be harmed somehow.

Also, people are expressing their disgust with United Health and the health care industry in general. They are also saying that they are not in mourning over this death.

Should people have mourned the death of Reinhard Heydrich? Should the people who were not mourning his death have been accused of promoting violence?

[Skittles]

35. what is RIDICULOUS is thinking VIGILANTE JUSTICE is the answer

OPPOSING them is one thing, EXECUTING THEM IN THE STREET IS ENTIRELY ANOTHER - WTF, ENOUGH ALREADY

[Cirsium]

37. That is slanderous

I did not and would not say that vigilante justice is the answer.

Organized resistance is the answer.

[Autumn]

31. Never. But if you do you might just get shot dead in the street and deserve it.

[Hassler]

34. Good thing the shooter visited Starbucks and dropped his phone. Otherwise

The suspect list would be about 50 million people long

[Bettie]

38. Ah but, there is your mistake

capitalism means NEVER trying to actually help people.

The job of a health care CEO is to deliver as little care as possible while maintaining an outrageous profit margin so that all of the stockholders get very rich and they can laugh at the people who are foolish enough to believe that our system is set up for health CARE.

[Martin Eden]

39. When you believe in the Prosperity Gospel

God has blessed you.

Doesn't matter how you gathered your wealth.

[milestogo]

40. Insurance is not about helping people. Its about creating profit for a few people.

And therein lies the problem. It can't work.

[Clouds Passing]

41. Time to kill off for profit healthcare. Dead to dust!

[alarimer]

42. That has always been okay

To certain people anyway.

[Faux pas]

46. ...

Rape, plunder and pillage is how the inhumanes roll.
