Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024, according to Wallmine.
Oh no millionaire left his fortune for kids that won't see him again and can do anything they want. Looks like Richie Rich movie start scene.
The fact that he allegedly took his life on behalf of others who had been screwed over by him despite having no personal grievance with him makes it more commendable.
Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.
Heydrich had 4 kids. It doesn't matter, he deserved to die.
Plenty of horrible men had kids who damn well deserved better fathers.
Does Luigi know where "End Wokeness" hangs out? Asking for a friend
The only thing sad about Thompson's death is how quick it was.
While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.
Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.
How dare you cheer on the alien from "Alien" dying at the end of the movie. She was a mother!
If you're talking about the Powerloader/Queen fight, that was the second one.
Aliens, that s is very important and it actually conveys a lot about what the movies are about.
Ripley was an anchor baby.
Just a single mother trying to feed her kids. smh
I was a child when I lost a parent to cancer. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that it occurred to me to wonder whether or not they’d have lived if we’d had health insurance. And this was decades ago. Of and years after that before I thought about what if we’d had universal healthcare.
Fuck all ceos. Also private equity.
The only good CEO is a Luigi’ed one.
B corps?
Greenwashing corporate profits means little. B-corps fight hard against their employees unionizing, it's just branding.
All this whole CEO murder thing is is an effective application of Reagan's "Trickle Down" economics...
You make... cuts... at the top, and things get better for everyone else.
Are you telling me Reagan was too "woke" for today's conservatives!?
who did nothing to him
Except deny him medical care and put him into a massive medical debt.
But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s
Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.
Except the president has much less control over gas prices than an insurance CEO has control over their half of the deal.
Yes... Fascist Idiocracy be like it do.
he took
Oh really? Where's his conviction?
And I don’t even know this guy. No way I’d recognize any of these people from a jury box.
Im glad every time I im reminded when that CEO died. I'd like more of that warm feeling.
I hope that heartless, sociopathic pile of shit had time before he lost consciousness to feel as alone and confused and scared as he made so many hundreds of thousands of people feel to line his pockets with more money than he'd ever know what to do with.
The ceo caused the prolonged distress of tens of thousands of people, that is far longer than a normal lifespan.
A dad, like I'm supposed to care that this guy nutted in some skank.
I'd be a dad..
If I got paid fair wages for my labor, had the means to care for a family and my partner was able to access modern reproductive care.
All things that health insurance companies deny people as a business model.
I find that those who cry most about wokeness are those most infected with the broke mind virus.
One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus". Empathy requires continual effort to maintain your commitment to the well-being of others, something that's more and more challenging these days.
But abandoning empathy? Giving yourself over to fear, greed, and hatred requires no effort or commitment, and the longer you maintain such a vile, poisonous state of mind, the more you become such in such a perspective.
But, as we know, projection projection projection 😝
Studies have shown that conservatives have smaller areas of the brain related to a sense of empathy on average compared to others. It could be said that they are outright physically less capable of feeling empathy compared to the rest of the population.
Hmmm. Solution must be MORE lead in our food and water, right?! 😝
I am curious if that's an inherent trait and this the cause, or if it's damage over time (the effect). But I don't doubt your claim.
Honestly could be a little of column A, a little of column B. Or even the lead, like you mentioned. Lead is one of the leading theories for why there were so many serial killers, but it's also a theory on why the Baby Boomers are so much more conservative than the generations before and after them. Symptoms of long-term lead poisoning include things like heightened aggression, violent tendencies, and impaired cognitive abilities, and the theory also correlates the coincidence of serial killers largely disappearing in the time since lead was banned from gasoline, paint, pipes, etc. - but that also fits for the political stance of generations before and after the introduction and banning of leaded gasoline.
Obviously, there's more to it, but I can't say that I think banning the lead was a bad idea!
Their abandonment of empathy is perhaps the greatest reason why I revile them.
A mentality of fear, superiority, bravado, main character syndrome, otherism (a fear of altruism), superstition, religious indoctrination, paranoia, the lost cause…
even conservative immigrants are in the find out phase. Broken minds.
Be woke, or be broke. All my homies respect trans rights, and personal pronouns.
One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus".
At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.
I was unaware that being an empathetic person required any effort.
It requires far more effort than hatred to maintain a self capable of empathy. For many, they feel it is an insurmountable challenge to come to terms with the people they are and the actions they’ve committed.
That's weird because it requires no effort on my part to be empathetic.
Doesn't it though?
Do you not see your internal suffering by seeing other people suffering as work? You could force yourself to stop caring and then you wouldn't have to carry that weight off other's suffering.
I dont think I could
No, I don't see it as work. It doesn't require any additional effort on my part. It takes more effort for me to not care.
I totally understand; I think many of us kinda choose to ignore/accept the cost of maintaining an empathetic perspective, simply because we are unwilling to accept the alternative.
But everyone walks their own path! In any case, I applaud your way of thinking.
Yeah fuck that CEO and everyone in charge that have a hand in those kind of decisions. Fucking board should of been shot as well.
Also Luigi is innocent and not the shooter.
Didn't Jack Posobiec get caught cheating on his wife? And he's trying to lecture me on family values?
He was doing her a favor so obviously yes jk
Insurance also tried to kick me off and deny coverage because of a cancer diagnosis as a child. My poor mother. 👨🔧
Remember, EW is a Polish Nazi.
