Indifference Is A Two Way Street

So many Americans were indifferent to the murder of an insurance company CEO earlier this week. The response was actually quite telling and likely a sign of what's to come in these states uniting America. I haven't seen a more unified attitude of IDGAF' since the death of justice scalia. The above picture demonstrates the likely cause for the display of overall indifference. 

Insurance companies have no business making medical decisions. Doctors should not be secondary in our health care. Lots of Americans suffer or die because insurance companies, not our doctor, deem our demise more expedient while their CEOs take home fat checks garnered from exorbitant premiums we pay. May the CEO and those innocent others who have lost their life, a limb, a child, a fight against cancer or some other, sometimes curable, disease, etc. because of heartless and callous decisions made by companies like his, may they all rest peacefully right alongside one another...

Sadly, his death will do little to change the immoral and unethical practices of the overall health insurance industry, to which we give sizeable monthly donations called "premiums". Having a soul or compassion for others does not have a place in capitalism. Actually, any hint of such characteristics or human-like sentiments are frowned upon. 

While I wonder what might have been the conversation around the dinner tables of executives in this industry, and all other overpaid corporate execs during this past week, I suspect that it had little to do with culpability, accountability, or any examination of the message behind the vast support of the results of an act as vile and as extreme, as was this senseless murder of their colleague. I doubt any consideration was given the response as a sign of Citizen Joe's undeniable waning tolerance of their severe greed and exploitation of the 99%. I don't think they get it. They don't want to get it. Capitalism won't allow them to get it... 

An indifference to humanity is embedded in the very root of America. It is how she was built. It is what makes her "great". I digress... Occasionally, America becomes a casualty of her own doing. The beat simply goes on as loss of a fallen soldier is considered a mere utilitarian sacrifice, collateral damage if you will. The good soldier dies for the good and survival of the others, the others in this case being the execs and the shareholders. The beat goes on, reportedly as did the meeting this CEO was scheduled to attend on the morning of his demise. 

Let it be a lesson to you, We the 99%, it's a job, nothing more. Be clear that your first loyalty must be to you, your family, and your overall well-being. Match the energy you receive. Exit stage left when necessary...
