Like look at the UHC CEO who just got shot in broad daylight. The company wasn’t even willing to spring for good security for a guy who metaphorically put a noose around countless people’s necks.

Apparently that decision was made for PR purposes. They do not want pictures out there of daddy CEO being escorted by goons everywhere while they deny claims to dying children and grandmas.

I wonder why that would make them look bad lol

We’re not dealing with the cleverest people, here.

If you continue to think they are stupid, you will never understand how power really works in capitalist states.

In the end, capitalists participate in the same totality as the rest of us, and they are often just as subject to the “tyranny of necessity” as the lower orders whose labor they command. In [Søren] Mau’s terms, the class domination we see in capitalism is “impersonal,” since it isn’t this or that particular capitalist who ultimately dominates workers but rather capital itself. This is why it is so necessary to understand capitalism as an alien totality, rather than condemn it through pointing to notably bad capitalists.
