How many times are you going to deflect from the same simple question? Do CEOs of large corporation have any autonomy compared to other workers?


In this case it's nuanced to me ... it's definitely not black and white as..

- Brian Thompson was not the head CEO of United Healthcare... was he just pushing along the agenda that Andrew Witty and the board devised? Further as noted Im not a sheep to follow any Internet/social media/political narrative as we have seen time and again that narratives are made up and or blown up. I agree our healthcare system needs to be better, but are Americans ready to pay same taxes as Europeans (doubtful to me).

- The murderer is totally crazy (he had no business with United Healthcare) and an idiot (killed Thompson not Witty).

- If the murderer wasnt young and attractive but old and unattractive 2 months later society wouldnt continue to be hiding behind their keyboards cheering a murderer on or seeing headlines "P. Diddy is Mad Not Getting Same Love in Prison." All of this brings to the forefront a primal/SICK part of humanity which does not promote a civil and polite society.


I am not interested in another reeition of your big picture opinion. Obviously you don't want to answer this question because you've been asked 3 times now.
