Companies try to stop online support for CEO killer suspect
Companies try to stop online support for CEO killer suspect
It's funny watching basically every news outlet scrambling to try to and explain why Luigi has so much approval online, when the answer's rather simple:
US Health Insurers go out of their way to fuck over people in their time of need (the old Delay, Deny, Defend), and the executives get rich off of doing this - so the people hate them, and are more than willing to spit on their grave.
I wanna thank spez for fucking up reddit which kickstarted the beginning of a new era. The Fediverse Era.
You have been federated, do not resist.
I am sitting here, in incredible pain from a combined sinus and ear infection, waiting for the antibiotics I need to be shipped to me in 3-5 business days because my insurance will only provide prescription coverage through Express Scripts and not a retail pharmacy.
This same insurance company has also denied to cover a surgery they have prior auth for, denied coverage for routine lab work that is expressly covered, waited months to review disputed charges and gotten them sent to collections, and forced me into a lower tier of coverage twice due to premium increases.
The kicker? I work in the health insurance industry. But I'm not an exec, just a support worker.
They can try to stop the online support all they want, but they should know that the active censorship will only cause people to go elsewhere. This issue is uniting everyone who watches the evening news, and they can't risk not covering the story because they are hoping to make an example of him.
I fucking hate the push to use Express Scripts. You can't rely on receiving a medication that you need in a timely fashion using them.
I've been fortunate that I've been able to opt out of them, but insurance did push back, and I still get emails and mail from them as though I use them at all ever. I report it as spam every time, but it doesn't make a difference.
Damn, I hope your infection doesn't progress. Stay strong
Thankfully it won't, but I had to deal with more of their shenanigans.
Did you know that they refuse to transfer a prescription if they haven't filled it at least once? I had to call the urgent care clinic back and have them transfer it instead.
Bless the retail pharmacy worker who walked me through how to get everything in order and got me discount coupons. It took them 30 minutes to fill and cost me a total of $15. So I will be okay, but in spite of Express Scripts, who gave me an ETA of the 17th, more than a week after the script was ordered.
You know, they just make clear to us how effective it was. Had they handled it like any other murder, there wouldn't be a support movement that practically calls for others to do the same.

?
I mean like, people would still celebrate the ceo dying regardless. I mean, once the news reported "Delay, Deny, Depose", that's it. People would be in support.
I hope they are fucking shaking in their boots now. Sounds like they are.

Oof, really Matt Egan?! No one is going to murder children.
Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.
Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they canât they start bringing out the riot gear and batons. CEOs and corporations are by default dictators and dictatorships.
I wouldnât be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.
(They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)
Not an employee, but I guess close enough.
They are at war with people
Meanwhile the other day the manager of a grocery store was joking about how we need more people like him while scanning my ID for beer.
Ain't gonna happen. They've given us a martyr. And a sexy one no less.
Gotta keep the proletariat in line. Can't have them getting uppity.
I want something tangible to do. I'm just angry. America is so shit. It overshadows all of its freedoms with greed.
The rich have class solidarity
I thought content moderation was very difficult?????
You aint stopping shit. đ
Are they trying to making Healthcare affordable?
Just like NBC airing the news tonight of medical debt forgiveness. Sure felt like propaganda.
Good fucking luck.
This legal defense fund is still up:
So last I heard the lawyer of Luigi said they are not taking outside money. That would make all fundraising a scam.
Have you got any links to something that says otherwise?
Even Lemmy is bending over backwards about it, so nobody think that the Fediverse is non-compliant.
[citation needed]
Been on Lemm.ee and have only seen posts in support of him and how fucked up healthcare is.
Lemmy instances or run by individuals in a crap ton of different jurisdictions. None of these individuals want to go to court for our free speech. If an instance or an admin or running out of a location where they are reachable by legal measures, who are we to say they need to protect us?
Man. I am so glad I joined the federation.
If Amazon or eBay takes down your merchandise, you can always sell it on https://xmrbazaar.com/ and somebody could make a legal defense fund on https://kuno.anne.media/
Quite amazing that killing 1000s(?) a year is ok, shooting the one that allowed it isnât.
If this is where we're at leading into the next Trump term things are going to be beyond fucked in very a short while
Or be beyond good. More CEOs might be raskulacheny.
I kind of agree with them. Having everyone talking about murder is kind if terrifying.
Wait until I tell you about
death panelsclaims adjusters and their body count...I know it is, but it's important that people don't forget about the hundreds of thousands of people murdered by insurance companies denying claims every year.
Less terrifying than normalized murder that executives commit with "just good business".
