UnitedHealth CEO shot
Not saying I'm actively rooting for it, but I'm finding it very hard to work up much sympathy. He does not appear to be one of the good guys.
He's not one of the good guys, but one can feel sorry for his family and relatives and honestly, Terps, where does it end? Down that road in that same city, you have very selfish, cruel, mean-spirited Wall St. brokers, hedge fund managers, bondsman, annuinity traders constantly toying and often screwing with oil/natural gas markets, food shipments, S@P, Nasdaq that leave a permanent imprint on our checkbooks in a way that rivals, if not exceeds what health insurance CEOs like Brian Thompson have. And its not like throughout American or world history, stock traders haven't massively screwed up terribly over a period of 10-20 years due to lack of needed, stringent regulation or monitors in-system to curb, prevent corruption, graft, or huge banks giving away massive "toxic loan/mortgages" so people can buy homes they can't afford and the creditors or loan officers realize this but do it anyway. That lead to this nation's worst economic depression in its history and very nearly another one about 16 years ago around this time.
Then you have energy companies, social media and Silicon Valley Corps with enormous political power, influence and contacts within both major parties to get beneficial legislation passed whenever they need it.
