MODERATORS
Being happy and celebrating are not so different.
Enjoying action against evil is not wrong.
But it may violate the TOS here.
Not all TOS are good, or lead to a better world.
Not all action against evil leads to a better world.
But all inaction against evil leads to a worse world. Therefore all action against evil has a greater chance of making a better world than doing nothing.
That doesn't follow.
Evil often takes action against another evil, and the result is often a worse world. See: Bibi vs Hamas.
It flows, you just don’t comprehend because you’re happy with “organizing” and “awareness.” Which, gestures widely is not working.
Goodbye
Whatever you're doing gestures wildly is also not working.
Me specifically? I’m doing nothing. You aren’t doing anything either.
The person in question is a hero, imo.
We obviously disagree.
Goodbye.
The person in question has not improved anything. Tomorrow UHC will reject claims just as it did yesterday.
UHC won't stop doing anything just to protect an employee. And there is no shortage of people willing to take the job.
You’ve made your position on change very clear.
Killing someone doesn't change an organization.
The only change here will be an unexpected promotion for the person who will continue the former CEO's work. Maybe they are celebrating with you.
Looks like there is plenty of opportunity for making the world a better place.
That's pretty much what the IDF says whenever they kill a member of Hamas.
Personally I don't want to be in their company.
Of course you don’t. You want to be the ceo of a health insurance company.
Clever. But no. No more than you want to see Gazans die.
I certainly don’t want that. But, inaction is compliance.
If the IDF had not responded to 10/6 by invading Gaza, would that would likewise signal their "compliance"?
I think we are comparing apples to oranges. If you want to focus on US corporate corruption, I’m game.
CEOs die all the time, it never affects the profit-seeking of large corporations.
CEOs in the US are not shot down all the time.
Why would UHC shareholders care about the cause of death?
Why would anyone want to be the CEO of the corrupt company if those CEOs start getting killed more often for their bad behavior?
If we’re just going to answer questions with more questions, we can just skip this part we will never agree.
Lots of people are willing to take jobs with a significant risk of being shot, including drug dealers, mercenaries, and bodyguards.
They usually do it for the money, and it's usually much less money than the CEO of UHC.
You got a solution?
Possibly, depending on how you define the problem.
Many healthcare related problems have been addressed to varying degrees in the EU, so I think that is often a good place to look for solutions.
So, you don’t. Got it. Please get out of the way.
Get out of the way of vigilantes? No thanks. They don't have a solution either.
This one did.
No, they didn't. UHC will reject claims tomorrow just as they did yesterday.
