   So, the shooting of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson is apparently causing executives across private healthcare & more widely to (re)consider their personal safety & security.

   One cannot help but wonder whether they might conversely consider why so many people hate them & regard the only answer to their problems with various corporations is some form of violence?

   If the Thompson killing has demonstrated anything, it may be that the public is mad as hell & not going to take it anymore!

     @ChrisMayLA6 They are removing their photos from sites and literature that the public can access also. I think it’s a little late, and such actions demonstrate how utterly out of touch with reality they are. Part of me is pleased they are terrified (which I wish I wasn’t). Part of me wonders if those behind Project 2025 are beginning to realise they will all be at risk of assassination if they continue to treat the public in this contemptuous way.

     @anarchic_teapot @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 A CEO who isn't a public figurehead is worthless. That's part of what they're ridiculously overpaid to be.

     @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 I'm also not convinced that, even if they manage to erase everything including the Web Archive, they'll ever get the legal requirement to name names on public tax and legal filings abolished.

     @anarchic_teapot @pkraus @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 Isn't her business model providing shovels for the world's two greatest scams? One of which involves lots of victims who've lost everything.

     @pkraus @dalias @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 And just coincidentally, she is unlikely to be killing and bankrupting thousands of Americans as a business model.

     @dalias @anarchic_teapot @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 I think there are notable exceptions where competent CEOs also happen to be really good engineers. Dr. Lisa Su, as an example.
