"Demonization of corporate executives is not new."

Huh, maybe if they acted in accordance with the social contract instead of lining their pockets with the blood of others.

Nobody says fuck the fire department.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In other news, demonization of actual demons also not new. It’s been showing signs of decline though, as much more effective evils steal the attention.

As a TST member, though no longer practicing exactly that direction, Satanism is objectively more moral than a lot of religions. Even the one it descended from. Well, I should say, as practiced by its members.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

TST in particular is far more moral than the religions I’m familiar with.

So they'll all be in one room at the same time?

That doesn't sound very productive, a return to office would increase engagement.

Isn't that interesting? Bet one whole security guard is sitting outside.

Just send the CEOs some (cheap) pizza, single topping. They seem to think that fixes everything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Only Little Caesars.

The other chains occasionally deliver something minimally edible by mistake.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If only they’d be proactive about the root cause rather than “proactive with law enforcement intelligence “

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't want a solution. I want to be mad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

¿Por qué no los dos? If we stay mad long enough, maybe we’ll get an actual change in health insurance coverage. Or even single payer

Then again, we may need to be mad for 4+ years

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Sorry, I meant like the CEOs don't want the solution to the root cause.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

This is awesome, a whole new grift. I'm surprised that this isn't a Trump initative.

"We protect everyone on the streets of New York, not just CEOs". While they might do that, this one murder has shown that for some people, the police really does the job they should be doing for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

the amount of cope in that post.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

we protect everybody in the streets of New York

If they're not even currently protecting like a hundred CEOs .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

One guy dies. Suddenly the fuckin governor is holding an all hands meeting to discuss using state funds to protect wealthy elite.

Poor New Yorkers die every day…crickets.

“We care about everyone equally.”

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

How about asking them not to be useless parasites who make things worse for the rest of us? That might help ensure their safety.

Imagine doing group therapy with 175 people

Everybody gets equal protection, but some get more equal protection than others

Using our taxes to provide free private security to the wealthiest people in the state?

"We protect everybody on the streets of New York, not just CEOs," Hochul said. "Everybody deserves the protection of our law enforcement."

New York City averages over 1 murder per day. Weird how the CEO seems to be the only one getting any attention whatsoever, since everyone is getting equal protection.

We cant afford for every American to have secret service protection. So we should just get rid of the secret service entirely. Big money wastage. TSA also needs to go. They never did anything to start with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

What? I haven't fallen into a toilet once since they created the TSA. Those seatbelts are a life saver.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Besides that, law enforcement doesn't protect anyone. Didn't protect Brian Thompson, did it?

Law enforcement is reactive. They show up after the crime has been committed to take notes (incorrectly) and maybe arrest the wrong person. Oh, except when patrol officers are running speed traps so they can intimidate the undesirables and shake them down for fines (which are regressive), maybe abuse some authority (or just make shit up) in order to provoke an unnecessary arrest.

So can we drop gun control now?

Anyone considering running for high office, and looking for a hook to run on? Run for the governor of NY on a platform of giving Luigi Mangione a full and unconditional pardon.

You would win in a landslide.

Class solidarity for the elites; rugged individualism for the little people.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 week ago

Funny how it's all about protecting people when a rich guy gets shot but not when any of us gets shot.
