‘Uber for Armed Guards’ Rushes to Market Following the Assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO

Mad seems like a really good vector to organise attacks on CEOs

I mean it's a bit of a perfect storm isn't it? You have a military set up to promote kids into a form of indentured servitude for college etc

Then after they've been chewed up and spit out they're often fucked over by veteran social services

Then you have this techbros uber app, which is promoting SAD/SOG/SWAT/SEAL kinda guys but we all know how slimey techbros are so chances are you'll get Bob who did 2 years in the cost guard coming to protect you.

Now if I'm vet who's been fucked over and I have the right credentials to get a job protecting the people who fucked me over, what do you think I'm gonna do?

To the persons who will be providing physical security: these CEOs are not worth your life. Collect your paycheck, and when the time is right, just step aside.

This is where they find out that it is very difficult to tell the difference between apolitical bodyguards and anti-capitalists with a gym membership.

Better start cooking your own food and doing all of your own vehicle maintenance. There are soooo many more of us than them. We could eliminate them overnight.

What are they going to do, jump in front of a gun for $100 an hour?

The sad truth is that this already exists and has existed for a very long time. The global "Security Consultants" industry is worth somewhere around $50 billion. Granted, a lot of that comes from like, shipping companies and such, but if you have the money, they'll protect you. Usually with retired or discharged veterans so they already have significantly more combat experience than whoever they're protecting from, especially not some rando who I contracted over my lunch break

Good, they should be scared. But I highly doubt an armed guard like that would prevent a proper dedicated attack. It only takes one bullet to kill a man, after all.

Take a bullet for a billionaire? Nah

Then they get hacked and all of the scheduling and concerns are available publicly.

lol. good luck.
