The problem is not one rich, greedy CEO sitting at the top of the mountain like the grinch with his big bag of money - laughing while everyone in Whoville dies. The problem is that people keep voting for politicians who enable greed and implement policies that allow people to get ripped off and die.

So half the country just voted for this guy who wants to take away their health care - while they’re celebrating the murder of another guy who was getting rich off a system that the majority of Americans keep voting for. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Letting prescription prices go back up while the health insurance companies gouge people even more than they already are. Experts projected that if Trump actually got through his plan to gut Obamacare in his first term, over 30 million people would have lost their healthcare.

People seems to be pretty happy that this CEO got killed, but half of U.S. voters just voted for a man who wants to deregulate all kinds of industries, including health insurance. Already filling his cabinet w/ billionaires who may screw the average person more than they could ever have imagined.

Wall Street and the banks were making a killing ripping people off by breaking all kinds of laws.. Then when the financial collapse happened in 2008, they all got bailed out and got right back to the business of being rich.

Voters said inflation was the biggest issue in 2024. But oil companies & retail stores r price gouging while making record profits. The NRA spends millions to make sure semi-automatic weapons stay on the streets - while America has by far the worst gun violence in the developed world

How many times did u report the fake t-shirt scam to Zuck before u got tired of reading ‘Sorry if ur feelings are hurt, but this doesn’t go against our company standards’? You know why? Facebook seems fine w/ fake profiles because the more “profiles” they have, the more they can charge advertisers.

Credit card companies have been ripping people off for years with predatory lending practices. Hotels and air travel have their built in 'hidden fees'. Don’t know if you’ve seen all the facebook scams lately, but people at the top seem totally fine with it..

Maybe you’ve got a surgery that’s going to cost $300,000 & when you got your health insurance u said you didn’t have any pre-existing conditions. But unfortunately u had a bad case of acne at 14 that u didn’t think mattered, & now ur gonna have to hop around on one leg for the rest of your life.

They’re trained to look for loopholes to deny your claims. You got a life insurance policy for a million dollars, & when you signed on u said you didn’t smoke… but their claims-people find a Facebook post of u from 20 years ago at a party with a cigarette in your mouth & guess what… You’re screwed.

What about people who work for the same evil corporation? And how far up the ladder do they have to be to also deserve to get shot? The US healthcare insurance industry & life insurance companies both employ about half a million people. All these people know what the deal is.

There’s a lot of ugly greed out there right now & a lot of people getting ripped off and dying. But who’s really to blame for how “the system” screws people over? Is it the few top CEOs of the top corporations? & if they could just be eliminated, would all the problems go away?

Psychologists say that rape is not a crime of sex, but of power. Supporting rapists may not be a crime, but in the Republican Party these days, it sure seems to go hand in hand with the pursuit of power.

Still don't know exactly how this whole thing works. Might need some guidance from the JarvMaster!
