Major media outlets are giving wall-to-wall coverage to UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder while taking millions in health care industry advertising. They’re silent about the real story: how profit-driven health care kills 68,000 Americans every year.

    I wouldn’t blame a boomer for not wanting to live in a world where you can get gunned down in the street for being successful under capitalism because guess what, they didn’t have to try.

    also, the dude was in a chain restaurant with the murder weapon and a manifesto. I figure the only reason he didn’t straight up hand himself in was so his capture was public. which means someone had to hand him in, preferably before his youtube videos went live.

      Lmfao. “Successful under capitalism.” Which of course means murdering thousands of people by denying lifesaving care that they PAID FOR.

        Did I fucking stutter? yes, that was the implication. People fighting back against a system of exploitation that they have greatly benefited from would be scary for them.
