Major media outlets are giving wall-to-wall coverage to UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder while taking millions in health care industry advertising. They’re silent about the real story: how profit-driven health care kills 68,000 Americans every year.
I’m not telling you to go out and kill someone, but there are rich assholes profiting on your misery nearby wherever you live. Maybe it’s a medical ceo or a hospital administrator. Maybe it’s a landlord evicting you after jacking up rent again. Maybe it’s a police chief notorious for the harassing people in the community. When people have a cozy home and food on the table, they are willing to put up with a lot. Now people don’t have that, and they are going to atart lashing out at whoever they can because they have nothing else to lose.
