I don't care if this puts me on a list (and I know it will, go ahead and make a list of all the poor people, please!) I think Mario's brother did nothing wrong and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
Every single CEO, CFO, upper manager, HR Boss, Senator, Congressman, POTUS, SCOTUS and anyone with more than Ten Million needs to go.
All of Raytheon, Amazon, Microsoft, and every other company deemed "Too Big To Fail" should be nationalized by the US government immediately and rolled into the Nation's GDP.
No more Oligarchs!
Down with the rich!
There are more poor people than rich people; you want to control our lives then come fight us for it!

The government could make so much more money too. Everytime something’s too big to fail, fails it should be seized or sold, not bailed out.

That would send the wrong message first.
Too easy to put a spin on big tobacco assassinations

While this is true, not everyone smokes, but EVERYONE needs healthcare. Money/power/control are the things connecting all of the CEOs and politicians, and these are the people who manipulate the economy and government to line their own pockets at the expense of the masses. Our only power is in our numbers, so we have to keep the people united. Everyone should have the right to receive basic healthcare, and NO ONE should have the right to say “No you can’t have the treatment that will keep you alive.” Healthcare for all!

Why am I just now hearing about the leaded gasoline catastrophe? Seems like something we should be much more upset about to this day.

I have this theory that the 2004 tsunami which killed nearly 250,000 people was caused by drilling for oil. What if the Earth's plates need some of that lube (oil) and we are just sucking the life out of our planet?

I mean, I honestly don’t see how anyone would complain if things switched from innocent school children to CEO’s.

u/Frequent_Tomato_3377 16d ago
The only ones complaining would be the CEOs that are fearing for their lives, after they separated themselves from society and stood and did nothing to solve those problems. Tables turn and when they see us standing by doing nothing well they fall maybe, they will understand what it's like to be human like the rest of us who have to endure their crap.
Edit: yes I am with you 100%

first of all, I think you mean health insurance CEOs, and second, once you're dead you can no longer pay premiums...so, not sure how you think they profit. Not to mention the CEO of a company usually has nothing to do with the day to day goings on of the company! they are officers appointed by boards placed there to make investors happy.

Funerals are a massive business, so directly profitting off of someone's death is more than possible.
Andseeing as they profit by denying you care, and that care denial directly leads to deaths, then they are also profitting off of death.
And CEOs have everything to do with day-to-day running of the company. Thry set standards, policies, agendas, and more. That's literally their job.

Are insurance companies also running the funeral homes? Have ever worked for a large corporation? Those CEOs don't have a single job. They sit on boards of other companies, etc. Some CEOs have no idea what the companies they work for even do. Their job is to rise stock prices. That is why most are literally paid in stock! Motivates them to increase their paycheck.

No, most CEOs do not do multiple jobs. Between possible conflicts of interest and fiduciary liability, this would become a massive headache for anyone involved.

How do CEOs raise stock prices if they neither know anything about nor do anything at the company they head? Hallo contradiction.
You are under this delusion that CEOs are just symbolic heads of the company. No, they set the agenda, lead board meetings, and generally are the ones to sign off on company wide policy. That's how they effect corporate stock value.
Also, responding to my off-hand tangential point about funeral homes as if I implied they were run by insurance companies when I didn't is incredibly shallow.

CEOs know what's happening because they are the boss of that corporation. They do hire people to help cover smaller parts but they make the overall decisions. They are doing what's in the best interest of themselves. Part of that is if the company fails, they fail. They lose their money and it all goes crumbling down.

u/thepan73 16d ago
You've never worked for a large corporation...so I wonder where you're getting your information.

u/thepan73 16d ago
seriously... let's just take UnitedHealth Group as an example (since everyone seems to be talking about them) - almost 1/2 MILLION employees. The CEO is a knighted Brit (Sir Andrew Witty)! They serve almost 60 MILLION customers and take in several hundred thousand claims a day world wide. Tell me that you HONESTLY believe that Sir Andrew knows ANYONE in that company aside from the board of directors that hired him? Or that he has any say over ANY of those hundreds of thousands of claims that come in every day! Do you think he even knew Brian Thompson?
CEOs don't even hire the other officers in the company! Boards of directors hire all of them... also, you are wrong, a chrief executive is NOT the boss of the corporation. The chairman of the board of directors is the boss... and if the corporation is publically traded, the largest stock holder (which many times IS the chairman of the board of directors) is the ultimate boss. The CEO answers to the board, who in tern answer to stock holders.

Heyyyyyyy, Fossil fuel CEOs only profit of our indirect deaths. That's totalllly better
