  • Don’t do violence

    This wasn’t violent. It was calm and deliberate and it really seems like what Brian wanted with how he led his life. Seems like a lot of other CEOs of insurance companies and other hyper predatory industries are likely a bit jealous of Brian getting the result they all seem to be aiming for with their own calm, deliberate actions in life.

    Also, the stock went up, so weird that we aren’t really celebrating the boost to shareholder value - again, this was the endeavor that Brian committed his life to. He’d be overjoyed to have made an additional $7million on paper for man also worth $14 billion in family wealth.

    Did you think it was easy for Brian to sign the death warrants of tens/hundreds of thousands of people? Through a lot of indirect action and often while enjoying a very lovely omikase sushi lunch with a different chef flown in from Kyoto each day to prepare? No. It wasn’t easy. But you know what, he rolled his sleeves up and he did it, because that’s just the kind of man he was until he was shot in the back of the head.

    Hope you all have a good day at work today with your own decisions, remaining CEOs, board members of predatory industries and random billionaires. We know you’ll stay focused on doing the most valuable thing with your time today










  • Too exhausted to grab images but…

    • The amount I spent on college versus the amount that they spent on college

    • their pension versus my pension

    • cost of their home versus cost of my home

    • amount of adults in their household that had to work to support a family versus amount of adults in my household that have to work to support a family

    • Their CEO pay gap versus my CEO pay gap

    • number of summers where they took a week-long family vacation versus number of summers that I took a week-long family vacation

    • cost of a family trip to Disney for them versus no fucking way I could even consider affording that shit, let alone paying an overall subscription for quicker lines and somehow also individual extra charges per ride to get on those rides in less than three hours.

    Restaurants don’t take steaks off the menu because they aren’t are profitable as salads. One date wants a salad, the other wants steak, they make less profit on the steak plate, but the average of the two is profit enough.

    It’s ridiculous to look at any one service of these behemoth monopolies as an island - They are one collective thought, EVERY SINGLE PIECE does not have to be to enshittified to generate the biggest possible profit.


  • An elitist dog whistle built to “other” the “poor” people - people that may have otherwise been successfully socializing or “passing” with wealthy people to the point of the first text message sent. Also a quiet tool for labor discrimination.

    Only took them about 20 years of oppression to finally announce they would potentially end the practice.
