    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

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

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

    This changes everything.

    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.

        Most of us don’t choose who insures us - our company or personal finances do. There’s no market here for people to walk away with their dollars. Anything even a little outside the system has been crushed.
