'This was preventable’: Corporate world shudders at new risks after slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO
Threats against corporations have been rising for years, fueled in part by the echo chamber of social media and an increasingly polarized political environment.
"This was preventable"
Like all of the illnesses that UHC and other insurers keep refusing to cover until it's too late?
Agreed. This was easily preventable by megacorporations not doing their level best to turn the world and everyone's lives in it into shit, simply for the sake of a few more dollars.
Once again, the wrong lessons are being learnt. Close security just means a sniper nests somewhere. CEOs are not the president.
The lesson is - don't be a cunt.
From the article, just so you know why this happened:
Threats against corporations have been rising for years, fueled in part by the echo chamber of social media and a more polarized political environment, according to security professionals.
🤡
You mean the social media the ruling class controls and the echo chambers they helped establish?
This is an ad for a private security company, not news.
Edit: It's also in poor taste, the guy hasn't even been buried yet.
It was preventable. Entirely. By not having an algorithm deny 90% of health claims. By not denying people the right to health. By not profiting off of literally taking money from people to sometimes pay for sick people.
But no, actually, the problem is he didn't have personal security /s.
CEOs, We understand that you are going through a difficult time, but your claim for sympathy has been denied.
Hah
Time to get some drones. These assholes aren’t safe anymore. They hit a deep nerve and managed to unify an otherwise divided populace.
It was a pre-existing condition.
Security details are just going to draw more attention to you, and it will beg the question to the public why you feel you need one. Definitely not the lesson to learn from this....
Zero questions showing ability to introspect. No one asking if perhaps the business model is messed up. No, let's spend some of our looted cash to hire more security.
Violent public outrage could be a real boon for the private security industry. Probably a good time to invest. Maybe a good time to invest in gun sellers, too. Could be a civilian arms race. There's real profit potential in the collapse of civil society.
People keep saying Trump is bringing us into The Handmaid's Tale, but I think we're going to arrive at The Purge first.
Crazy how even this thumbnail and the photo within the article have different color backpacks. So much for investigating journalism.
This is inevitable.
