No, I don't think violently killing CEOs is the answer.

I do think it's outrageous & disgusting that 70,000 Americans die preventable deaths annually because health insurance mega corps prioritize profits over healthcare & we don't acknowledge that as violent.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

@QasimRashid I also think it’s outrageous that CEOs don’t ever seem to face any consequences…

@QasimRashid The job of a health insurance CEO is to destroy people's lives for profit. Turns out, that's not a popular or endearing line of work to the majority of people.

@QasimRashid if there are no other answers that kind of answer becomes inevitable.

@QasimRashid Don't condone killing, but I sure as hell ain't shedding tear either.

@QasimRashid I feel like this sort of thing is going to become increasingly common as society faces further pressure because a select few have put profits above a healthy functioning society.

@QasimRashid I’m not in favor of vigilante justice. BUT, if these type of profiteering C-suite people aren’t going to be held accountable by the courts and congress, desperate, heartbroken people ARE going to go to extremes, and if I’m on a jury in such a case, I’m voting “not guilty.”

@QasimRashid We'd rather kill them off by peaceful means!

@QasimRashid White people be like "woot! they got 'im!" POC all ,"I don't condone this."

Smart call, but this has been going on since Reagan. There are no good answers left. The rich (and healthy) won't be taxed (or support peaceful means like unions) therefore we eat them.

@QasimRashid Killing CEOs may not be the answer, but it certainly can’t hurt. At least, it can’t hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it.

@QasimRashid No, killing CEOs isn’t the solution. But it is outrageous that Mr CEO is taking home a $10 million compensation package meanwhile the average salary at his company is barely $40,000/year. It looks like the only employees able to afford housing and food are the software developers, management, and salespeople.
