    You’re not opposing any boots yourself, shoeshine. You’re doing fuck all to help anyone.

    Just like Luigi: impotent rage incapable of bringing about change.

      I dunno, that one CEO surely didn’t think Mangione’s alleged rage was very impotent, and all the other CEOs that got scared didn’t think so, either. Unfortunately the American people let Luigi down, though

        Scared? UHC aren’t acting scared, that’s for sure, they’re ramping up automation to deny more claims.

      No one said I was, you illiterate fuck. That’s why I don’t shit on people who are.

          Oh shit, good one. Wow, you’re so clever I almost forgot that you’re insufferable. Come to think of it, I tagged you some months ago after reading a comment where you called Bill Gates the “best billionaire”, so maybe your opinion of Luigi would’ve improved if he’d had extramarital affairs in the company of the 21st century’s most notorious child sex trafficker.

            I stand by it, but it’s certainly a low bar.

            At least he was being blackmailed for cheating on his wife with adult women unlike Jeff’s clients.

            Regardless even if Bill Gates had hypothetically murdered 100,000 people he would still be in the moral positive karma by millions.

            Meanwhile Luigi did fuck all.

              Man, not like Jimmy Buffett or something? It had to be the man who used underhanded tactics – notable even compared to other massive corporations – to monopolize home computing and was buddy–buddy with a man he definitely knew trafficked and raped children while he cheated on his wife with multiple women? You clearly have poor taste in people either way, but hopefully in this specific case you just said “fuck it” and carelessly decided that, out of the ~3000 billionaires, your guy is the one who remarked that a permanent ban of Trump from Twitter “would be a shame” and who used his platform to spread disinformation that climate change doesn’t pose an existential threat to humanity.

              Even if the billionaire has to be alive, you’re remarkably stupid by choosing him.

                And supply food and medicine across Africa, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, as well as donating the vast majority of his wealth, yeah it’s going to be Gates. You really cannot compare that to fuckin Buffet.

                Billionaires shouldn’t exist but the people who hate Gates the most are all rightwingers.

                  Damn, I forgot that when I give away a portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars I stole through naked monopolization and exploitation, it makes me a super great guy – and the more money I steal, the betterer. How benevolent of Billy Billionaire; what a noble sacrifice. It’s a good thing Jeffrey was around to give him those antibiotics for his STD; I’ll bet he couldn’t have afforded those healthcare prices after giving the shirt off his back to charity.

                    I mean, yeah, if you don’t do that then you’re just Elon Musk or Vladimir Putin which we pretty much all agree is a horrible person.

                    Kind of weird to see you arguing that you don’t believe in the morale value of charity.

      I sorta hear where you’re coming from but I think for most people, someone getting out there and shooting someone is a million times more ballsy and proactive than we’ll ever be. Agreed that it was misguided/naive though. I think it’s hard to know what will actually bring about the much needed change.
