Summary
Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threatening a health insurance company after repeating words linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
During a recorded call with Blue Cross Blue Shield about a denied claim, Boston said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next,” echoing phrases engraved on bullet casings at Thompson’s murder scene.
Authorities allege she exploited the CEO’s homicide to make the threat.
Boston, a mother of three with no prior criminal record, was arrested and held on $100,000 bail amidst warnings of potential copycat incidents targeting healthcare executives.
A Health Insurance company denies your medical claims threatening your health and your life = good business
A frustrated house wife who can’t afford health care threatens a billion dollar corporation = jail
Pretty obvious indicator of where our collective priorities are, isn’t it?
Bullshit. Who has the power? Yes. But fuck no, that is not “collective priority”. Until people learn to with together, collective priority is utterly meaningless.
This is the same shit billionaires use to justify their existence.
After seeing how the healthcare companies are reacting to this, unfortunately I don’t think anything will change until there are more killings
I disagree. Most of us do our small part to support the idea that those who have more deserve more, and those who have less deserve less in our everyday social interactions.
Well, then I will point that your “collective priority” merely represents how you or I have been conditioned to behave, but as such, cannot hope to quantify what each of us believe, nor our personal assumptions on how we want the world to work.
We do not want this. A ridiculously small percentage of humanity occupies the uppermost echelons of capitalism. They want this.
