UnitedHealth CEO shot

[guidomerkinsrules]

They may own a judge or few, but I don't buy that as a rule that they own most or even many. I think it's cynical to think otherwise.

we know that at least 3 supreme court justices are DEEPLY connected - some would say indebted- to donor money
Packing the courts and judge shopping are very much a thing

Not saying that's not happening, but not nearly to the extent you're implying.

Local and state judges are also owned by businesses to enact policies at their levels to accomplish their goals. Thats where it starts.

Is every cop, judge and politician corrupt? No. But it would be remiss to not acknowledge the level of corruption in this country that is going on.

I think CCS is dead on. The ruling class has tilted “the system” heavily in their favor. The lower classes absolutely are not playing on a level field within the system.

Oh, no question the system is far from a level playing field. That's never been in doubt. It's been that way since before the country was founded.

And do you remember why the country was founded?

I definitely think there's influence. It varies depending on the jurisdiction, location and industry.

There's definitely corruption out there. To what degree and how widespread it is is anyone's guess though.

Of course, and people still did what people do.

No, I wasn’t even born until like 200 years later.

And because of the Dobbs decision (their doing) untold numbers of women have died because they can’t get the right medical care….So, if any of them got instant karma I wouldn’t shed a tear…..

I’m ok with slow and painful karma as well

The local court system is corrupt. But not in the ways you think. You really want to hurt corporation and insurance companies? Sue them and take them to court in places like Louisiana. They lose pretty much so every time and they are forced to do the one thing that hurts them, pay money in huge amounts.

 

[St. Widge]

the ruling class has taken away the working class’ only ways of pushing back/fighting back (legally), there’s little left to do. They bought the elections, they own the politicians from both major parties. They own the judges, the police. They tether our healthcare/life to our jobs to control us.

The problem with saying violence isn’t the answer is that violence is being perpetuated against all of us to some degree, every day but for some reason some of y’all are fine with that.

You act like this is new. It's always been the case in every country at all times. It's naive to think otherwise and naive to think that shooting some CEOs is going to change anything.

We've only shot the one, so the sample size is small.
