    Didn’t feel bad reading the headline

    Nobody was injured in the shooting

    But how quickly things change these days

    In America, shots get fired into people’s homes on a daily basis. That sort of thing doesn’t usually make even statewide news.

    We should worry about fixing those other problems before worrying about some rich prick. If the rich person is so concerned about their safety, why don’t they just hire some private security?

    I don’t see any reason why this is being treated as news.

    This was a workman’s comp insurance CEO not a US healthcare CEO. The difference is unlike healthcare insurers, workman’s comp isn’t paid into by the victim and they actually provide some benefit at least in theory.

      Except if you ask anyone that’s ever had to deal with workers comp its always too little too late and a mountain of bullshit. Workers comp is arguably even worse than normal health insurance companies to deal with.

        Again in theiry the difference is workman’s comp still provides a service whereas other than rent seeking I am not sure what us health insurers do.

          In theory regular insurance provides the same benefits as worker’s comp and the cost of both come out of paychecks one way or the other.

          Worker’s comp is just insurance with even more steps.

          Workers comp insurance fights about as hard as other insurance companies to fuck you over. My girlfriend ended up rather disabled after an incident at her job and their workman’s comp fight like hell to blame a previously unknown health condition, and the LTD people managed to get out of paying once STD ran out and she didn’t have the money to fight it.

          Insurance is insurance, and fuck them all.

    Any kids or spouse present?

    With how reckless this was I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a Boogaloo stunt to frame leftists either. They were caught doing that with George Floyd protesters after all.

      We should be doing the same at trump-related events. There are no rules anymore. We already know that right-wing terrorists get coddled by police, so there is practically 0 risk
