I can’t wait to see the NPR article titled “Luigi Mangione was [aquitted/convicted/excuted] years ago. Why do week keep hearing his name in comment sections?”, and I’ll see this NPR article like 5-6 years from now.

Epstien died ~5 years ago, yet I still keep seeing people talking about him.

They’re gonna attempt to do so. There’s no guarantee it will work.

The whole world is in love with Luigi from what I’ve seen with my international friends.

Have you killed thousands of people through insurance denials to make a quick buck? No?

Then you’re fine.

That’s conceptually backward to how our justice system (on paper) determines guilt. It has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Luigi did it. Nobody else needs to be convicted or even accused for Luigi to be determined to be innocent.

And there are some good reasons to doubt from what we’ve seen as the public. The cops said they found his backpack in NY but then also found him with his backpack. The pictures don’t quite match. It doesn’t make sense for him to keep incriminating evidence on him in a McDonald’s. There’s a lot about it that stinks.

Dual purpose phrasing, I love it

Yes, with the caveat that it will need to be coupled with a massive pendulum swing in favor of workers rights.

Not necessarily disagreeing with those stipulations, because sure, there is ways around those things.

However the point is that we know the ways they track down people fairly well, so there is no value to such a trial.

I think 5 is maybe an over-ambitious goal.

Maybe, but I’m OK with being ambitious.

I can understand how experienced leadership of a large scale multinational corporation should be compensated more than 5x the amount of a 16 year old part time cashier in a town of 2200 people.

I can’t. Large scale multination corporations shouldn’t exist. But that’s a separate issue ultimately.

How much more should someone make doing the same job for 40 years than the new hire with no experience? In a lot of fields, I don’t feel like it would be unfair for that scale to go 4:1.

A company hiring somebody with 40 years of experience should be paying towards the higher end of the 1:5 ratio. It would ensure far more of the wealth goes to those who actually provide value.

Or you end up incentivizing complex structures that try to avoid this cap somehow.

They already do that with hiring employees as contractors, which is why I mentioned it. Any employee they hire gets counted.

That said i don’t think this is the right solution anyways, since it only targets income and not wealth.

Hence why I said payment in any form. That includes benefits, PTO, stocks, everything. The rich still have other shenanigans they pull, sure. But this would at least solve the problem on a salary level.

And i feel like it is much more likely to end up in the owners pockets, than resulting in higher wages.

Agreed, which is why the stock market needs to end. It’s the primary means by which they rob the working class.

So the more important issue would be to improve mechanisms that redistribute money, from whereever large amounts of wealth accumulate. Like a wealth tax or higher inheritance taxes (or just closing all loopholes that help avoid/reduce it).

I’d recommend looking into a land value tax system.

Nah, companies found in violation of this should have their business licenses revoked, and the company dissolved.

They don’t give a shit about taxes or fines. They will care about the company ceasing to exist.

Fuck English, but I fixed my comment

The ratio between lowest paid and highest paid employee, in all forms of payment and benefits, to all employees (including contractors), should be capped. I’m thinking a ratio somewhere around 1:5 or so.

Have an employee paid only 20k per year? Congrats on your 100k salary Mr. CEO.

It’s been 3 days, and the chances of them finding him go down with every day.

Because there is no abstraction as leaky as a man waiting outside your hotel at 6:45 in the morning with a gun and murderous intent.

A leak like that is the type that keeps leaking. The system needs to change, and it eventually will, doubtfully but hopefully peacefully.

It’s a legal defense fund, not a bounty reward.

Granted, they’d probably still do so anyways.

And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.

Hopefully more of the FO part comes out of the woodwork.

Don’t forget the children whose siblings died due to insurance fuckery, and the parents who’ve lost children.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and he just never gets caught.

If he does, it’s gonna be one hell of a gofundme campaign for his defense.
