Summary
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.
The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”
Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.
Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.
Isn’t it the boss who hires the people who hire the people and tell the people how the company should operate? Your argument is that it’s immoral to be a business owner?
What companies are paying people less than the value of the work they’re doing? Is it your opinion that every company is doing this? What is it that you know about these companies and the value of these workers to come to this conclusion?
It sounds a lot like you don’t understand how owning company works. The owner gets a paycheck like everyone else. The profit generated by the company, if any, goes in the bank. This money is used to hire more workers, invest in new opportunities, or saved for a variety of reasons.
