Imagine being some rich corporate fat cat, who thinks he is above everyone, and then proceeding to die in th' same way over 6 million smelly nigger apes before him have, being gunned down in th' street like a common criminal.

United healthcare is a pain. I had to talk to collection agencies about bills letting them know that the insurance was supposed to pay when my kid was born. The bastards were stalling as much as they could. It's common with UHC. I'm not surprised that someone got this pissed.

The worst, no. But they are the biggest. And their policies are anti consumer. There's an entire industry that employs thousands just advocating companies like united Healthcare to do what they are contractually obligated to do

Things have gotten so bad in general, that the $10,000 reward really sounds paltry when you consider what most Americans WITH insurance pay for surgery

"They have probably already replaced him and not lost even a cent of profit."
> And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.
the trick is to kill enough of them to the point where
1. the replacements get scared of just taking the job
2. the populace sees it's possible to resist
we agree, one guy is nothing. but every journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
If you're about to take a new job, and you find out that the guy that had the job before you was brutally murdered, precisely because of what your new company has been doing, that might just make you pause and think for just a minute. You may even ponder why the guy was murdered and what points he was making. Heck, you may even turn the job down....maybe.
Or yeah, we could just not do anything, like you say, because it's just too darn big. You're not wrong in that the theory of forcing change in bulk is the way to go, but that requires political power, which likely won't be happening without some pinpoint, selective violence along the way.
