Comment on And nothing of value was lost
teamevil@lemmy.world 1 week agoSo I get the thought, and fuck billionaires, but did any real “good” precipitate from this? It’s not like her position and the negative consequences of that position don’t exist anymore. They’ll just hire someone else who will be willing to sell their soul for the money. All that happened because of this is they’re going to ratchet up security and I can’t really think of any other good.
Even the United health guy even if he’s not there the next guy is going to make the same decisions because ultimately there’s only one decision you can make if you’re only goal is to raise the stock price next guy is going to do the same thing, we’re treating the symptom not the cause.

Enough of them start paying for their actions - they won’t be able to fill the position. Plus, any skilled job takes time to replace a trained worker so it slows their parasitic plans. It’d be better for it to happen to actual billionaires like Peter Theil. Consequences for actions give people pause when they push too far. The rich are seeing no consequences, it’s why they have become so bold. Fear is a powerful motivator. Narcissists only fear things that directly affect them. Plus, it’s not like this was a good woman. Her job was to buy up all the housing she could and jack up rents for as much profit as possible. This directly causes homelessness which kills tons of people. Just because you call it business doesn’t mean it’s not evil. The scale of this type of investing is a direct cause of the housing crisis.
