Keep them afraid.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 21 points 2 hours ago

Sounds like Luigi's perceived actions created jobs and fostered better health for the community at large.

Someone put this man in government

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 20 points 2 hours ago

40x~$75$/hr = $3000/hr they're willing to spend instead of giving you insurance you paid for

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

So, the options are "not milking the sick for profit" or "getting bodyguards"

Why? Have they done something to make them feel like they were a target?

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 24 points 3 hours ago

Good. They should live in constant fear.

Industrialized social murder should be a dangerous profession.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Actor Brian Thompson must be worried a little too?

[–] xeekei@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Fear must be new to them. Good.

If your job requires armed professionals and costumes,you shouldn't be in business

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago

So you're saying that whoever Luigi is taking the wrap for is a job creator?

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 31 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Don't be giant greedy pieces of shit, you won't need body guards.

Luigi Mangione allegedly killed CEO????? Are we just dropping that now????

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Well, the quote is from a district attorney, so they are pushing their narrative.

~~I believe that Luigi himself does not refute the act currently.~~

~~I might be wrong, but if Luigi isn’t refuting what he allegedly did then 🤷~~

I misremembered, he did plead not-guilty. I’d thought I read a legal theory of justified self defense as the strategy.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Where did you get that info? Or do you just hold water for healthcare CEO prosecutions for fun?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago

I was misremembering something I’d read before, but obviously yes it’s the other thing you’re saying.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

everyone knows he was framed and the feds did it.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not everyone knows this, but everyone should suspect it.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Many people are saying it.

[–] sturger@sh.itjust.works 43 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 24 points 14 hours ago

Nah if literally murdering people for profit didn't stop them then really nothing will. These people are sociopaths that only see the career ladder.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Exec: Hey Claude, are we killing people?

ClaudeAI: Yes.

Exec: Are you sure? I think were doing great things for them, i don't see it as killing

ClaudeAI: Of course you aren't, you're doing great things!

They'll do anything to save themselves except for stop being evil.

Sometimes I wonder if those second-tier execs are even more culpable than the CEOs. Like, we expect CEOs to be psychopaths. But those second-tier guys that got a seat further down the table, off the back of a good degree and a few decades of hard work? They know what they're doing is wrong but choose to go along with it anyway because they're just following orders.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 11 hours ago

those golden parachutes awaiting them is just too addicting.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 15 hours ago

Good. Something to consider when you're making life and death decisions for other people in the future.

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

All these news reports saying that Luigi killed a guy or used a 3D printed gun. As far as I know, Luigi did none of those things and that that is for the courts to decide. Further, I’ve seen plenty of posts online of people saying that he was at the bar with them when the whole thing happened.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 2 points 39 minutes ago

He was with me shooting skeet at that time.

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

I live in Belfast and I'm positive I seen him buying drinks in the red devil pub at that exact time. Right gerry?

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 56 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

He didn't kill anyone though. He's innocent.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 41 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

I know it's uncooth to dehumanize anyone, but CEOs like Brian murdered (and the rest continuing to murder all day every day) more people than any serial killer in history because they oversaw automating the process of selling the confidence scheme and then murdering the marks when they threatened the profits of the confidence scheme when they got sick.

People like Jack the Ripper and Ted kaczynski were pathetic, inept hobbyists at mass murder next to an American "healthcare" ceo, and it isn't close.

And we don't hold them in even lower regard solely because they do it to get ever richer, which is the only practiced American religion.

As humans go, Brian was somewhere between a serial killer and an even larger scale mass murderer like Adolf Hitler in terms of his practiced inhumanity, maybe he should be dehumanized a little.

This post either needs to be removed or retitled. Luigi is not convicted and this perpetuates a huge problem in the US of assigning guilt to people through public opinion.
