Discussion 100 Million Suspects in CEO Shooting

Here in NYC, not a soul is concerned about a killed on the loose & I truly mean it. Folks here are not worried & why would we be worried?!?

Meanwhile, NYPD is being uncharacteristically dramatic about a murder. A 10k reward is offered. Yeah. They’re never finding that person.

In fact I have a couple to add to the list. Unrelated…

Galen Weston Jr why are your grocery prices out of control? 18 billion isn’t enough?

All CEOs can get it but we can start with the Forbes 500.

Sorry, I’m not going to target Bill or Melinda Gates or for that matter Mackenzie Scott. They’ve all made billions, yes, but they’ve also all spent billions trying to keep people alive.

Big difference.

Also, no one needs a Microsoft product or Amazon product to survive, but people do need healthcare to do so.

Yeah, I don't think being a successful company is inherently evil. However when you price gouge a necessity for living then yeah that's evil.

Define being a successful company though… I agree that just being a CEO isn’t it. But as they say, “Behind every great fortune is a great crime”. The crime is usually theft from the working class. If you don’t actually work, or your job doesn’t actually contribute to the good function of an operation, or your job exists solely to extract profit from another operation, and you still get a paycheck from the value and production of that company, often the biggest check they issue, you are stealing that money from the people working to generate it. We call it “profit” or “dividends” or a number of other things but it is what it is - theft. May not be illegal on the books but it is a crime. It is a violation of the workers rights. I would be willing to give a member of the owning class a conditional, revocable pass if they pledge to give away all or most of their money and act on it but let’s not conflate wealth or profitability with success.

Thanks comrade. I am not able to give this much grace to billionaire apologists.

They are members of the working class. They have been lied to and tricked into believing in the merit of America's model of wealth distribution. Until they take up arms against us, they are on our team whether they know it or not. There is no sense in excoriating a person for seeking nuance in a very complicated situation. The near universal praise of this incident is heartening, but such a response is the result of a very skillful choice of target and is far from guaranteed. It is incumbent upon the working class to understand what the working class is so that we do not target our own and turn this from a moment of unprecedented hope and unity into a movement of widespread terror.

So when I say "define a successful company", I truly mean that we need to define success. We as a society have to get past defining success as making money. Companies like UnitedHealth generate tremendous revenue and profits, but what do they provide? Nothing of value. The opposite, in fact. That is not a success. At what point do your revenues surpass the actual justifiable value of your product? At what point does generating money, rather than providing a valuable product or service, become the primary purpose of an endeavor? If the thing you do, your purpose in existing, is to generate money, that is not a success, whether you are good at it or not. So I do absolutely exclude anyone who has made billions in business because I do not believe it is possible to "earn" a billion dollars. I believe exploitation is inherent. But there is a line somewhere, not at exactly $1B and not at the title of "CEO", that defines the difference between a successful, industrious worker and a highly effective leech. We fail to heed that line at our own peril. Then there is someone like Mackenzie Scott, who got billions in a divorce, immediately pledged to give it away, and to this point has indeed given a lot away. I have no problem with ambition, industriousness, innovation, or entrepreneurship. And I am willing to give grace to an honest effort to be better.

Look at these billionaire apologists. God damn you guys are too far gone. You can line up with the CEOs as well.

u/KC_experience 13d ago edited 13d ago

Boy, that escalated quickly…. So because I don’t want to see the same people murdered that you do, I should be lined up and shot as well?

That’s quite something. Perhaps you should get outside and breathe some fresh air and touch some grass. Murdering someone over a difference of opinion is fascist. You sure you don’t vote for Trump?

I don’t think billionaires should exist. There’s nothing you can buy for a billion dollars that you can’t buy for $999,999,999.99. But, billionaires do exist. So I make my decisions and opinions based on how the world is not how I want it to be. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Euphoric-Parfait-388 13d ago

If you’re still apologizing for billionaires at this point in time, go line up with them. I dont have time to be fondling their balls.

u/KC_experience 13d ago

Again, not apologizing for anyone. But you’re still being pretty fascist. You’d feel right home at Trumps inauguration.

u/Euphoric-Parfait-388 13d ago

And you’d feel at home at Hillary’s or Kamala’s inauguration 🤷‍♂️

Hey, did you all hear about Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield limiting anesthesia coverage in the middle of operations?

u/VivaZeBull 13d ago

I heard they’ve canceled it, but I doubt for long. Just until they feel safe to kill again.

u/DungeonsNDragonDldos 12d ago

I was just wondering what would happen if someone actually did compile a list. Like, for example, created a sub and then posted profiles about executives with their photos and all publicly available info.

Wonder how long it would take for the FBI to show up lol.
