    100%, even though I’ve seen some bootlickers here and there, but that doesn’t matter.

    I am indifferent. That guy wasn’t the problem, its the system that allows him to exist. This sends a message but all I see it doing is convincing wealthy capitalists to invest more in their protection.

      The problem is that he represented the hoarding dragons. The dragons believe they can keep affording these lesser beings to take the blame for their wealth.

      He took measures that made things actively worse for the insured to make him and the owners wealthier.

      You can’t just skip to the boss fight. You gotta carve a path.

      Yes. But he knew what he was doing in the system, actively climbed it, and made to the top. He had a say in what he chose to do and the direction the company took.

      I really dislike the “hate the game” mentality when the person playing the game knows exactly what they’re doing, and in the case of the wealthy, actively work to rig the game in their favor. Hate the game is just someone looking to wash their hands of any part in what they’re engaged in. “Just following orders.” Same thing.

      The system is a product of each and everyone of us…

      Except the rich and powerful have disproportionate control over perpetuating how the system works.

      So fuck it it. No. You are dead wrong. This isn’t just the system. This is a few entrenched interests continuing to oppress everyone else. And I think this way of thinking is part of the way that broken system is perpetuated.

      I see this going the same way 9/11 took us for “Airport security” and “terrorists”. I’m celebrating this today with everyone else but I don’t think this was a good thing. PMCs are about to make a ton of money providing private security to rich folks, and dollars to donuts anything they do in the name of “security” won’t be leashed or investigated in any way.
