    The insurance Industry being opaque about their denial numbers doesn’t absolve them. FFS if Gerber says “we’re not disclosing how many babies get lead poisoning from our food,” the conclusion from that is not “well we don’t have solid numbers so must not be a problem.”

    When such people try and justify the murder of a man because UnitedHealth supposedly has the highest denial rate or because Brian Thompson was supposedly being investigated for insider trading, these are likely just after-the-fact justifications. If Brian Thompson was the CEO of Coca-Cola, I’m sure they’d try and justify his murder by pointing to obesity rates, plastic waste, and evil chemicals like HFCS.

    Organ donation. Now.

    If Brian was any of the other Brians of the world, he would be just as guilty of mass murder. Stopping any of them is self-defense. Coca Cola is the worst plastic polluter in the world and anyone who doesn't see them as an existential threat to humanity can join this mod in the organ donation line.

      How about if a death squad of paramilitaries adventurists broke into Coca Cola headquarters and murdered half a dozen of their board and executives, like they did to workers in bottling plants in Colombia? i-think-that

        Libs not beating the allegations on being ignorant of history.

        Check out the history around cane sugar you dipshits. It's more than just earthy nutritional complaints.

          One of the most haunting photographs I've seen was a black dude whose skin was covered in scars because of stirring boiling sugar pots to make molasses by hand and gobs of molten sugar would stick to his skin and burn the fuck out of him. The misery around the sugar industry goes back centuries.
