We've seen how large corporations kneel down to power, too, so maybe he's hoping his position in the Administration will get them to settle. Typically bully shit.
The rich are getting their way and their newspapers are going to spin it. There will be theatre about Dems and Republicans fighting it out (read the working class and poor getting screwed by both sides) but it's really just the rich re-tightening their grip.
This is about corporate greed, teleworkers endangering the landowners real estate value, keeping affordable healthcare tied to employment, removing health and safety regulation in the workplace, land and sea, and wrestling the few remaining government services out of the public hand and into private hands.
At least those are so companies I can easily avoid. Amazon hasn't been easy since they monopolized the market but I can still usually buy from someone else. (Unless they charge for shipping and Amazon still ships same product for free at same price).
Yeah fuck the Democrats. I'm not giving the DNC or any mainstream PACs any more money. It'll all go through AOC and Bernie from here on out. (Not that my meager contributions mean much to the DNC Corporate whores.)
I mean they could stop hi fiving in the boardroom when their AI is denying care to people who have paid for insurance all of their lives.
I don't think murdering people in the street is a just act, though. Mainly because of same reason I didn't think the government should be killing people--the error rate is too high and someone innocent gets killed.
The Punisher would be a lot less cool of he left a trail of innocent people behind.
That said, when I saw this happen I immediately thought of the UniteHealth AI denying elderly care story I had read the day or morning before.
Healthcare boardrooms across the country have probably been celebrating the idea they can deny people like they've always done PLUS blame it on a computer, now. High five 🙏
We can't do that since the rich have bought how democracy works. This is the same shit that's always happened though. They'll keep us just happy enough to keep their heads.
That makes sense. And Congress is bought and just watching. Well, between calls to their brokers to buy!
