Antiwork

Written by CFO

The ruling class media have been in marching order to propagandize the virtue of their masters

Sounds like some nerd who just lived a normal life. He's no saint for this.

Chickens will roost. He should know that having come from Iowa.

Yes, "The American Dream" aka, fucking over your fellow common man for a buck.

I read a comment the other day that's stuck with me, I can't remember the precise wording but it was something like:

"Every cent spent on this man's funeral was made on the back of someone else's"

Gang you are missing the point. Thompson worked really hard from humble beginnings to become the absolute best at being a horrible human being. That’s gotta count for something, right? /s

Got rich trampling over as many people as possible then died by gun violence. A true blue american boy

world's most important companies

That's hilariously American defaultism considering most of the world doesn't need companies like UHC

Mussolini interned at a bakery one summer and attempted to learn the harmonica, you judgemental monsters...

He then became a fucking murderer for profit.

I didn't have any sympathy for him until I found out he played basketball and the trombone.

This changes everything.

When it's your job to profit off of human misery, don't be surprised when you find out what human misery feels like.

Oh shit, he was elected Homecoming King?? Well that changes everything.

Wasn't there a reddit post about this guy and how he was like a womanizer or something and he and his wife have been separated for years, basically saying this guy wasn't the pillar of humanity the media was making him out to be? If there was a post, was any of that true?

I have good memories of Brian Thompson. grabs a pipe for a good solemn smoke

Why I remember when he was there on a cross next to Jesus himself, comforting the poor messiah. He actually got into the business hoping that less people would die of crucifixion related injures. It's why he declined so many people, the money had to be there so that if they crucified Christ again his old friend would recover this time.

No I'm just fucking with you. Brian was a mass murderer and his passing is not mourned, not even by the billionaires. They don't give a shit about Thompson, they're just worried they could be next.

Also is that really his picture? I'm not one to judge people for their appearances, but I'm not sure they could find a douchier looking picture of him if they tried.

So ambitious small town guy with no empathy or ethics moved up the chain until he profited off the pain and suffering of others. I'm sure many of these trash humans trying to praise him have never had to worry about how they were going to stay alive. You notice they are all just like him. Trash.

Robert Sterling is a fucking twat.

So it takes 1 generation to become a class traitor.

tl;dr: The beginnings justify the ends. If you're a teenager thinking about becoming a murderer or rapist later in life, consider learning the trombone.

IMO, a “decent man” would have turned down working in a company that made health into a profit-making machine. He would have at least resigned when AI was pushed forward to deny even more medical claims, but instead gave his blessing. One can be evil and deadly without having to pull a trigger, look at the ton of politicians that do it daily and they get away with it because they look polished.

I'm not convinced we're much different except by circumstance. Anyone trying to manage that many human interactions is only going to see numbers. I know we'd like to think we have been or would be filtered out, but I'm not convinced.

The problem is corporate structures that create these behemoths that essentially can't have ethical liability. Someone else will do his job now. Killing him benefits exactly nobody. Just more distraction from what we should be focusing on.

When one of the first things you mention about him is "$280B of revenue" as though that's a good thing in the context of health insurance, yeah, fuck you.
