This was a random killing by a mentally ill person. Let’s not turn a tragic incident into a trend. Most people don’t hate CEOs. They don’t care about CEOs. They have bigger issues to care about.

How fucking tone-deaf is this person? The bigger issues that we care about are things like going bankrupt from getting sick or injured. Those issues are directly caused by their CEOs. This wasn’t a random killing, which is why people are so happy about it.

I think that depends very much on where you live. Here in Germany we don’t usually go bankrupt from getting sick. I at least worry much more about the climate catastrophe or right wing propaganda on social media. Issues that in a funny coincidence are also caused directly by CEOs.

If he is mentally ill, the majority of the US might be as well and they are tired of the system that makes them ill.

Soooo out of touch it’s hilarious.

Please, go ahead and continue to show how little understanding you have for the common man, by all means.

They’re not out of touch, they’re just trying to control the narrative.

“If we pay these professional mouthpieces to spout enough nonsense, perhaps the upwelling of public vitriol will be tamped down until next quarter’s bonuses.”

All the labor agreements of the past century were the tenuous detente of these more severe options. Now they’re relearning their own history.
