Fear in the C-Suite after UnitedHealthcare CEO gunned down

  • "CEOs don’t want to live in a world where they go to their son’s baseball game and there must be security present,"

    I have a pretty easy solution for that, but it might reduce profits: Just behave in a way so that your fellow citizens don't hate you?

    If people demonstrate by shouting your company name while carrying coffins around - which is what happened earlier this year when United Healthcare started using AI to reject claims - then that probably means that your actions have made you unpopular.

  • I don't see why we should care:

    I understand that they are trying to fight greed in the rest of the healthcare system, but really their profits do nothing for anybody's health.

    Banking? Maybe Oil? Big tech?

    (Please don't kill anyone.)

  • C-Suite became the new nobility.

  • Says more about the state of their conscious’ than any actual danger.

  • It'd be nice to see a bit of perspective on the sorts of corporate big shots now at risk - vs. the article's blanket FUD, and subtle equating of "corporate" and "Fortune 500-ish".

    I recall similar simplistic FUD after the 9/11 attacks. From reading the articles back then, you'd have assumed that the top brass of Pete's Porta-Potty & Septic Service had all fled their 2-story HQ building, for fear that a 747 was going to crash into it at any moment.

    EDIT: Also never mentioned is that a whole lotta power-hungry, rabble-rousing, and less-than-saintly politicians will be taking their oaths of office in the next month or so. Might some of them have noticed the hot new trend of publicly hating certain sorts of corporations and executives? And be busy thinking about ways in which they could "surf the wave" - legally, using their official powers - and advance their political careers thereby?
