Re: United Health CEO, I feel that I'm among the extreme minority of the population that thinks it's bad to celebrate political assassinations and also that it is a social good for companies to offer insurance in the US. I am astounded by how relatively unprofitable being an insurance company is and also why anyone would go into this industry and put up with the abuse and general scorn.
Imagine being at a party and saying you work at a health insurance company. Total hatred from almost everyone.
It's amazing that people do this at all?
Mistake not Twitter outrage for consensus.
This particular incident is getting a level of coverage that I, too, find unsavory. The posts exist because people want to be edgy; they get signal-boosted because it’s a slow news week. Compare reports about mass shooters, who receive unwarranted fascination even when their manifestos are objectively stupid.
