At some point, weโre going to have to just come out and say that the media landscape in America is hopelessly distorted- the profit motive has destroyed any real sense of professional integrity or mandate to keep the people informed of the truth.
Weโve accepted that knowledge is power for a long time- particular interests just do not want power to go to the people.

The nicest thing Iโve heard about him so far, other than generic platitudes, are the fact that he was (technically married) and a father of two. This guy had so many resources – if thatโs the best thing people can say about you when theyโre trying to come up with something nice to say, it speaks volumes.

Nice people do not become CEOs. Of course, somebody will pop in and say oh what about XYZ he rescues puppies in Costa Rica and gave me a free beer once.
The skill set to become an executive, a CEO is not a nice person. At a certain level you are at best morally tepid.
Sure assholes can still be a spouse or a parent. But they aren’t nice they are slaves to their board they do not give a fuck about their employees except as units of production or profit and they rarely care about their customers.
Lots of CEOs are like this man was, they just happen to be slightly less unpopular because they are in a different industry.

A local doc told my wife when he heard the news, “I’m thinking about my patient. 23. Cancer. She needed chemo right away. United denied her coverage, making her go through the appeals process. Care delayed too long. Died.”

The media, owned by the rich, are the tool of the rich. They use the media to tell us what to think and how. The reaction of the general populace to this assassination has them terrified, the facade has slipped a little bit and they donโt know what to do.

In late 2018 a gunman wearing a hoodie and face mask walked up behind a man strolling the lakefront in Chicagoโs Rogers Park neighborhood and shot him, execution-style, in the back of the head.
The following day, another man, completely unrelated to the prior killing, was shot in the back of the head while walking his dogs in the same neighborhood.
Ballistics tied the two deaths to the same weapon.
Soon after the CPD released video footage of the suspect. He was slender, tall, and walked with a distinctive stride. The press named him โthe duck walk killer.โ
Currently the NYPD is claiming their use of AI will unmask the DDD assassin, advancing the effort to identify him. Will AI show the gunman having seven fingers on one hand while carrying Christ on a wheelchair with a sign that reads โtoday is my birthday?โ
Less dead, vs more dead. The 2018 victims in Chicago were a kosher food manager who worked in a grocery store, and a middle aged gay man who had married his partner four years before being killed. The latter individual left behind a grieving family that needed a gofundme to pay for his final arrangements.
Brian Thompson may have been a doting father, but does this truly speak to his character? Does it say something about the value he added to society while alive? Everyone can take care of their own.
To be blunt: loving your children is the *bare minimum* of whatโs expected from a father. Itโs the bare minimum of whatโs expected of a human being.
When civil litigation seeks remedy for the untimely death of a person, a cold calculus is engaged. Financial justice evaluates the age, occupation, and health of the deceased. The passing of a 30yo man in perfect health will deliver a higher payout than the passing of an 85yo woman with terminal illness who wound up getting clipped by a distracted driver.
This arithmetic was devised and implemented by the same members of the managerial class of credentialed quarter-zips that Thompson is an avatar for. When they see Thompson, they see themselves, and they are fully cognizant of the decisions they have made in their own lives to undervalue the worth of those without the essential lanyard, keycard, and access.
Right now, two killers are free. One of them is likely scrolling through TikTok now and, no doubt, marveling at the folk tunes being written by artists who speak for the bulk of us who *are sick to death of asking* for change.
The other killer? Who knows. 2018 was a long time ago. But no AI is being leveraged to wrest him from his anonymity. The case is officially open, but the victims and the investigation are quite cold indeed.

I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I have often wondered if this was a hit job. I like believing that it’s someone seeking revenge for the greed of insurance companies but it almost seems too perfect.ย
Either way I feel no sympathy for the guy and that does make me feel bad on occasion, but everything was so well-planned it feels like a whole plot with an ordered hit behind it.ย

What’s the point in being evil if your life sucks? Like imagine being such a complete demon and then also you’re just a divorced dad loser criminal?
