If 19% don’t care, then it is acceptable to them.
They are not upset it happened, they accept it. They do not explicitly support it tho.
Add the 19% to 41% and get 60% do not have a problem with a broad daylight execution of a healthcare CEO.
So if you want to be pedantic, email the person (or ai) that generated the headline.
But 60% didn’t have a problem with it.
It’s still the majority opinion.
19% don’t care.
19% neutral
40% against…
In the nearly two weeks since Mr Thompson’s killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder," Tisch said. “We don’t celebrate murders and we don’t lionise the killing of anyone.”
Tisch is the NYPD commissioner, but more importantly here she is the daughter of a billion dollar “family” corporation CEO.

Eric Adams has been appointing her to the head of random city agencies for a couple years now, and I’m sure it’s a coincidence he’s under corruption charges and she is just that great
The only people who had anything revealed to them is the wealthy out of touch people, and unfortunately that makes up a lot of our politicians from both parties.
Everyone else has been pissed off about it for a long time.
What?
Biden was a politician fighting school desegregation…
Do you have any idea what the US justice system was like in the 1940s?
It didn’t work then, and it hasn’t worked since. It’s just an 82 year old can’t be counted on to remember breakfast accurately, let alone a literal lifetime ago
Our judicial system is an international embarrassment.
And the only other option would rather keep repeating everything is fine while the house burns down instead of working to fix it.
Biden really said “no one is above the law”.
Like, anyone stupid enough to believe that is already voting R. For Dem voters it required too much cognitive dissonance. Either Biden was bald face lying, or he honestly believed it, which is even worse because it’s obviously not true
It wasn’t just that, Twitter was being used by the people to organize across demographics.
Musk didn’t buy it to use, he bought it to break it.
but can you share a source that says Tesla are inherently worse in crashes than other vehicles?
From the article you’re commenting on:
A Reuters analysis of the NHTSA crash data shows Tesla accounted for 40 out of 45 fatal crashes reported to NHTSA through Oct. 15.
That seems to be fairly relevant when they’re such a small percentage of total cars…
I have zero idea why you’re jumping from Teslas to all EVs.
But under testing scenarios the brakes are usually hit before impact. Tesla dumps autopilot to avoid it being blamed and a human doesn’t have time to hit the brakes.
Other self driving stays engaged and brakes, even non self driving has autobrakes, Tesla’s effectively don’t when in self driving, I get that part is confusing, but I’ve explained it at length. If something isn’t clear about that still, please be specific.
Hence the rule musk want trump to scrap…
And the reason is Tesla’s are programmed to dump “autopilot” when a crash is inevitable so it’s on the stats as user error.
Like 2 seconds before a crash it switches off and just lets the crash happen instead of continuing to apply brakes.
Likely one of the reasons Tesla crashes seem to be worse.
They “go limp” into a crash…
I did for a couple years, we’d have reported this too.
Anyone would…
If I sus your point, we just have to accept it? Or that it will be a gradual erosion?
Nope, it’s that Joe Biden wouldn’t fix it, and neither would Kamala, hell, the biggest recipient of UHC donations was Kamala

I’m going to keep shitting on insurance executives and encouraging others to do the same.
No one’s saying you shouldn’t.
I’m just saying we also need to shit on the investors.
And the politicians from both parties they bought to prevent us from fixing anything.
We won’t win this thru the courts, they said with the money.
We won’t win this with politicians who took the money either, we can only win if we first win in the Dem primary. Lose there and we’ll keep losing.
I want to actually fix the problem, and am talking about how
You want to fix a symptom, and it’s a major symptom, but we’ll be fighting the problem at the same time so why not fix the problem so fixing this (and other) symptoms is easy?
You can sit there and be all wise
In general you do t insult people because you don’t understand, but I provided clarification anyways because this is important. Others won’t.
But the bigger issue is that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime
Yes, that’s why the rest of my comment was essentially what you wrote, just more in depth…
The way they’ve framed her is obscene.
You’re factoring in what you already know about this woman and letting that influence if it was credible.
The people she was on the phone likely know nothing about her besides what was discussed on the call and the threat. That should be reported, and should be investigated.
The bigger issue about framing is the media running headlines that it was just the “deny, defend, despise” that resulted in charges.
A cynic would say that was by order of the owners hoping to discourage a movement, even tho any idiot could have told them it would have the opposite and inflame people.
Which it obviously has.
I like to think at some point people realized this would backfire, and just held their tongue. But I’m an optimist when I can be.
They are making an example of her,
Yep, which is opening them up to civil suits, but is an open secret about our justice system.
As a society, we are having the conversation about for-profit healthcare NOW!
Think of it like the fediverse. Last year a big event made a lot of us ditch reddit, but some had already been here, and for the majority it wasn’t enough for them to change behavior.
I don’t think Luigi is the big event that causes permanent change, there’s been a lot of people who have been pushing for healthcare reform, 20 years isn’t rare, some for decades longer.
The first presidential candidate who had universal healthcare as a part of the party platform was Teddy Roosevelt in 1920…
It’s a century long fight against the healthcare industry, and it’s not going to be as easy as what just happened to change shit as long as all of our options in general elections have already been bought off.
We reference dogs who catch a car everytime Republicans win majorities and the presidency, but on 1/7/2020 Joe Biden didn’t leap into action, he “looked into” things for so long we lost the House and had an excuse not to do anything. “Winning” by electing a moderate only depresses turnout in midterms and the next presidential cycle.
We have to grow up and admit that or absolutely nothing will really change. The first step is understanding the root cause or we’ll never stop fighting symptoms.
This is some ginned up bullshit.
The “you’re next” after referencing a high profile murder is what actually did it.
Like, that’s a credible threat. 15 years is fucking insane, and context is going to matter a lot. Did she just get denied cancer treatment for her 2 year old? Or told it’s not insurance’s fault doctors won’t prescribe opioids? Or any of a million things in between.
That’s why we have trials, to find out all that stuff. And if it’s a jury trial I feel juries would be sympathetic.
The 100k is the real bullshit, but not owning guns doesn’t mean much. It’s insanely easy to buy a gun without a background check thru private seller loopholes.
But our bond system is insane, because the it causes judges to inflate the amount 10x. If you can afford to put it up, you get it all back later. A bondsman you pay 10%, they put up 90%, and they get the whole 100% back. Your 10% is their profit. If a bondsman thinks that’s a good risk, why does the court consistently over estimate the risk?
Whatever his reason, it’s gonna be stupid.
But unironically, there’s a lot of good reasons to just go with one time or the other.
So it’s weird to keep seeing headlines about it
Media is desperate to get people to arguing over shit that doesn’t really matter along party lines.
They’re still shitting their pants over 99% of the country uniting behind Luigi. They want us to talk about anything except the shit that effects billionaires negatively
Edit:
but i heard that the peak of time passing is around 45-50 years old.
I kind of just glossed over that. But it’s completely incorrect btw …
As you age time appears to pass faster.
In your late 70s, six months flies by, so older people tend to hate daylight savings time, because they feel.like they’re constantly changing their clocks.
It’s why Biden was such a bad president, the last four years flew by and he probably barely realized it.
It’s why the entire time he kept saying “we need to figure out what’s going on first”.
At that age you just can’t keep up with a normal day to day, let alone be the fucking president of America.
trump obviously will (and has) had the same issue, it’s just when Trump doesn’t get his shit done, it’s almost always a positive for the country.
This sounds like what they’d do…
Put everything “good” under “sensitive content” so kids and people who don’t know better leave that stuff hidden because when blatant racism, bigotry, and fascism doesn’t fall under “sensitive content” people will assume that shit is really really fucked up and and keep it hidden.
These asshats are gonna fuck around and get banned everywhere except America and then Americans will flock to other countries social media because normal people don’t want to hang out in a Nazi clubhouse
