It's a bizarre thing to detail the man's entire life EXCEPT the part that was evil as if it somehow is irrelevant.
"He grew up working class and then betrayed his roots. What a swell guy!"
Yeah, this rural kid from Iowa grew up to be an evil parasite on society. This isn't the flex you think it is.
Decent men don’t leverage suffering for profit.

Ah yes, the American dream. Making billions by siphoning the blood-money from the dying you denies Healthcare to.
You could make a similar feel good post about basically any evil person in history. It's pretty easy when you ignore the evil things they do
Hitler loved animals.
Your point?
The worst people in the world are still people. Doesn't mean we have to excuse their evil.
Hitler's picture in the media if he died today:
One of the big lies that the elites tell themselves is that anyone and everyone of merit with be lifted to their rightful station in society. They need this illusion because otherwise, they'll have to face the fact that their success is just based on birth circumstances. They latched on the the few working class slobs that somehow navigate up the rungs of society.
But what exactly did Brian Thompson achieve with his success? Did he funnel his excess wealth back to the community he came from? No, he just accumulated wealth like all the rest.
Also, pretty sure he was cheating on his wife and doing insider trading, which checks out with the elites.
Brian Thompson WAS living the American Dream! He got to kill THOUSANDS of Men Women and Children EVERY DAY and get paid MILLIONS for doing it!
He represented everything right and good in America?
Death to America then.
It was reported that he didn't even live with his wife. If that's true, why are we talking about his failed family?
Robert Sterling CFO | M&A and Strategy Advisor
Mergers and Acquisitions… Another soulless capitalist whose only purpose is to:
It makes the things UHC did to low income customers even worse, in my opinion. He knew what they were going through and still hurt them.
I hope the media will speak about luigi mangiones parents and his love interest once he is punished by the law.
Oh man.... I really want downvote this but like your point is right but like oh God fucking damn do we really need a post pointing out that the CEO asshole had a hobby? No duh.
He also had a job sentencing poor sick people to death.
We all know plenty about him from the boot being pushed into our throats from people like him and his friends who are all friends and think we'll of each other but...
Man the level of disconnect from these people. Completely can't understand the language of the oppressed and why we don't see their grand vision we are not a part of.
This country is just a fascist corporatist shithole nightmare.
No he was a psychopath like pretty much all CEOs
Perhaps this is all true and he was a relatively decent guy, but we will never know that for sure. What we do know for certain is that he was one many horrible cunts responsible for the harm and despair of far too many innocent people just trying to live normal, healthy lives. The nation is getting fucking tired of this bullshit and as a result the only part of this rich assholes legacy that really matters anymore is the one where he is a shitty proxy for all our anger and frustrations.
Nice of you to out yourself Robert Sterling, CFO.
One of the most important companies in the world, yeah right
So let me make sure I have this straight: Grew up in stereotypical small town Americana, undoubtedly observed the people around him struggling, had an opportunity to get lucky, learned nothing from his upbringing, and elected to deliberately contribute to making everyone else's problems worse now that he was no longer "little people."
We don't have a cannon anywhere on the planet capable of firing people like this far enough into space.
