When one of the first things you mention about him is “$280B of revenue” as though that’s a good thing in the context of health insurance, yeah, fuck you.
That much revenue isn’t, by itself, the bad part. Revenue is just how much you take in from your sales. If they had minimal overhead and paid the majority of that out to claims, that would be fine (in the context of our existing healthcare system). The problem is the profit, how much of that $280B goes into the company’s pockets instead of claim payouts.
Because they are trying to paint him as a productive member of society. Revenue is still the measure of how much business you do.
They forgot to mention that his wife and he separated in 2018, keeping it secret for years. It was revealed after his death.
Not that I think there’s anything bad about being separated/divorced, but it’d be a lie to paint him as a family man.
I guess his criminal record for drunk driving also doesn’t fit the narrative.
This example shows how media is your enemy…
They spin the facta for the owner class, every single time
And it works too. Well until this dead piece of shit… Something changed hopefully
Your point is valid, but I wouldn’t really place this guy in “the media.” He’s CFO of some investment firm. Just another C-suite executive trying to calm the rowdy peasants from atop his gilded throne, hoping to keep his head on his shoulders.
Someone else also pointed out there is exactly one photo being passed around of Brian Thompson. You would think they would find more family oriented photos to push the narrative
Omg💀 That’s a great point
Meanwhile there’s at least one new ridiculously photogenic pic of luigi coming out every day
They also made sure to mention that his kids go to public schools. And they’ve never missed a meal or any health care or been cold or hungry or anything. What difference?
Not that I think there’s anything bad about being separated/divorced, but it’d be a lie to paint him as a family man.
I’d urge you to reconsider this. Seperating from your partner does not invalidate you from being a ‘family man’ or a good parent. My parents divorced when I was a young age, and both of them remain committed to being attentive and involved parents (and grandparents).
Oh! Oh! Do Hitler next! Talk about how he served his country in war, how he was a painter and a successful politician and then leave out the “other details” about him.
Born to humble means. His father, a selfless civil servant. His mother, a simple homemaker. They were probably really proud when he was appointed Verbindungsmann of an Aufklärungskommando of the Reichswehr.
Make this picture a post and I’ll upvote it! (I don’t want to steal and post it myself, but might if no one else does)
I love how “overseeing $280B of revenue” is supposed to be some indicator of the guy’s goodness. “Wealth = virtue” indeed.
Yeah that shit was top of the list not his everyman background or happy family. Shows where this asshole’s priorities lie.
not his everyman background or happy family
He’s going through a divorce and his kids hated him. But this isn’t unusual for the “everyman” who climbs over a hill of his neighbors’ corpses to get that brass ring.
Once you’ve gone from pleb to president, you feel entitled to certain things that only a visit to Little Saint James can provide.
