Not at all. They’ll just beef up security.

No doubt the other insurance companies are doing the same. CEOs are probably hiring personal body guards to follow them too. I’d imagine this extends to CEOs of other industries outside of insurance too. They know they’re all seen as unpopular with most people.

    I was going to say, no fucking way does this work like they hope it will.

    Numbers are against them. Far, far against them.

    I think they forget that people below them value their own lives. I don't know any security guards who are willing to lay down their own lives for some CEO for moderate pay. If it's that or continuing to live? Idk, it's a feel good measure in my book.

    The security these people hire aren't the same security you are thinking of.

    These are PMCs. PMCs make quite a bit more cash, and have military training to ignore some of that self-preservation.

    That being said - it's still a game of numbers.
