Eric Adams explaining to the news about how the NYPD would spare no expense and give this case special treatment and then immediately realizing what he was admitting to and adding, “but we would do that for any New Yorker. We don’t give special treatment.” was a perfect example of another aspect to why people aren’t too upset about this murder.
Class divide is strong in America.
The CEO is highly compensated because of his leadership, direction and influence. But when push comes to shove, we allow him to hide behind “the system” as if he has no influence at all. He is just a victim of the system? Please. We’re not buying that. If he has no influence, why does the board need to pay him so much?
Some say, “any CEO would do the same.” But that’s flawed logic. No one who wouldn’t do the same wouldn’t get to be CEO.
Then, when he is murdered, we all have to watch our police force give his case extra treatment. While cops sit in the subway scrolling their phones, ignoring people. People report violent crime and are told by nypd that “we didn’t see it, there’s nothing we can do”.
And so we don’t care.

Kinda gross that someone's dad got killed in the street and everyone is ignoring that because the shooter is cute and the victim worked for a bad company. I hate the US healthcare system as much as anyone else but the two kids who will grow up without a dad really don't deserve this.

- Yes without their father they will live in absolute lavish life of privilege and luxury and their lives are ruined.monospaced
- I've heard this argument used before but it's dumb. Would we say the same for Stalin or Ted Bundy or Bin Laden?_niko
- What about the millions and milions of poor kids suffering after losing a loved one due to the health companies' shinanigans? kids who aren't set up for life_niko
- ...with insane trust funds? Yeah sorry fuck his little kids, I hope they grow up to realize what a shitty human being their father was._niko
- it would be funny if his life insurance claim was deniedYakuZoku
- not only justify killing but releshing just like Mao during the Cultural Revolution or Castro did. look at how upset they were that Trump wasn't murdered..hotroddy
- and they call me a fascist.hotroddy
- you are a fascist, we're just absurdists. And see the inherent ridiculousness of life and the world..and the cunts running it._niko
- Absurdists, no. Callous, hypocritical, virtue signalling and inhuman. Much like the dead man. I’d bet a shiny gold coin we’re all part of the 1%...Morning_star

- MS just described Australia, on track next year for their own version of Backfat Mountain featuring Voldemort and Jabba the Rinehart.MrT
- @ms in an attempt to avoid using (big c) 'Capitalism' you've used a broad definition of 'commerce' when the issue your refering to is one of Capitalism andkingsteven
- not of commerce.kingsteven
- @KS no, I meant ‘commerce’. The effective regulation of ‘commerce’ in BOTH the private and public sector is not happening. Education, military, etc is ...Morning_star

- I said below that nobody deserved to die. The American medical system is fucked. It doesn't work for EVERYONE. Health inequality causes thisIanbolton
- @MS it would seem you're just jumping through hoops not to admit that anti-capitalists have a pointkingsteven
- Capitalism, like Communism is an inert system, neither are inherently bad or good. Anti-capitalists, like anti-police or anti-communism is a populist...Morning_star
- ...catch-all description with little to no real meaning.Morning_star
- its easy, commerce and trade exist across countless economic systems, capitalism commonly refers to the current economic system (as i said, 'google Capitalism')kingsteven
- even by conservative definitions, the extraction of value to shareholders is a defining feature and anti-capitalist critique is logical: extraction of valuekingsteven
- from the marketplace inhibits commerce + generally not to the benefit of society. you're so caught up in generalising a populist movement as idiotickingsteven
- and "yet you participate" gambits you fail to admit commonality. CEO shot because Capitalism, done. No failure of democra... *summons zeitgeist* NEO-FEUDALISM!!kingsteven
- Apart from your insistence that you know what I think, we are in agreement. Potato, potato. If you wish to analyse the event as ‘CEO shot...etc’ I think you’re....Morning_star
- ...over simplifying. A strong regulatory system is vital in ensuring capitalism can work.Morning_star
- So Adam Smith was wrong?palimpsest
- yeah, i'm not in disagreement. i just thought it was funny that in that statement you used a broad definition of 'commerce' as not to appear anti-capitalist.kingsteven
- when your shtick for years is not to falter from a narrow definition of capitalism. but in this case even that would be more correct than 'commerce'kingsteven
- When we justify murder in the streets because it aligns with our causes, the world is very much, fuckedDaveO
- but it already is, so might as wellYakuZoku
- there is a direct correlation between a country's airports and their nation's health benefits. if you're mistreated by underpaid, uneducated TSA agents...hotroddy
- your public healthcare experience will be on par, except for more bureaucracy, corruption, and inefficiency.hotroddy
- A better analogy is public transportation. If it’s dirty, unsafe, and a poor experience, it’s hard to have much faith in the quality of public healthcarehotroddy

here's where the horror and frustration lies.
Cold uncaring algorithms and cold uncaring stakeholders placing profit over human lives.It's this scene in aliens Romulus where they arbitrarily deny her release request of release
or the entire plot of Brazil
or the real-life horror show of the British post office scandal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br…or the distopial world of robocop and this malfunctioning nightmare..
It's that feeling of helplessness, the dread and angst of going up against the uncaring brutal machine, the bureaucratic one or the literal ai terror that we've created to take over our decisions.
People are scared shitless and fed up.
- Romulus is defo a Musk space colony, folk getting space cancer and never seeing the sun with no hope of escape.PhanLo
- you can add Robodebt to this as well; distopia from down under. https://en.wikipedia…MrT
- Elysium was a great film in regards to these examples too. I think Social Media only adds to the problem, because it leads us to believe we have a voice.Ianbolton

Is it odd to see the glorification of what this guy did as just one step towards a society that would be thrilled for the Purge movies to literally happen in real life?
- You said it better than me – totally agree with this, and ironically its the left that are loving itDaveO
- yeah because the right are too dumb to notice or care. But it's not the left or the right really if you look at comments on the socials, it's the bottom 99%_niko
- the top 1% want us to believe it's left vs right and fight against each other. They make the issue about who's drinking a bud light or Haitian dog eaters or w_niko
- ...whatever the fuck Musk is on about at any given moment, they thrive and flourish on our infighting and division, but make no mistake about it the real enemy_niko
- ...are the cunts at the top. The sooner we wake up to this fact the better society might be._niko

- This seems like the law of the jungle to me. These companies are so large and powerful, there's effectively no ability to regulate them.monNom
- You can't regulate the regulators.

- The irony is that it might well end up being other insurance companies that demand better governance in order to provide key man insurance, and life AD&D etc.monNom
