@dnsprincess One major problem with this one is that SAIF is a "good" insurance company. It is a state-chartered nonprofit insurance company that only does workers comp. It has a mandate to NOT deny-by-default. Any profit it would earn is returned to policyholders.

Also, there was a threat against dozens/hundreds of employees and their family members. (An extended family member of mine is an employee included in the list - the list included employee family members's parents, kids, siblings, and more - including my address, and I've never worked for any insurance company.) This threat was made the day after the shooting by email, claiming to be the shooter.

I'm no fan of our insurance system and think for-profit insurance needs to die a swift and painful-to-investors death; but threatening distant family members of low-level insurance company employees who have no part in insurance claims is way beyond the pale.

@dnsprincess people really need to do basic research before cheering.

SAIF is literally a not-for-profit state-chartered insurance *policy* organization that does WORKER'S COMP and nothing else. The board is APPOINTED by the governor of Oregon.

In other words: this was political or someone upset about a claim. There is no 'anti-hero' here.

That doesn't surprise me in any way whatsoever. One reason Musk has had his security upgraded to SS level protection is because he and his destructive greedy insatiable ilk atre in severe peril. From a strictly demographic POV, there are many many old guys for whom time is running out and they have little to lose in a country being led by tyrannists anarchists and borderline Communists (Republicans). They've allowed the usurpation of the 2nd Amendment to be hijacked by the merchants of death and have proliferated gun availability to an inordinately unnatural level and some are going to pay dearly, even if it means taking out their bodyguards too. I am not an advocate of violence, but I am a psychologist, pragmatist and realist. The Supreme Court recently approved of bump stocks that convert AK 47 type long guns into weapons of war - machine guns.

The disturbed state of the USA
Some parts of the USA have bought into the vigilante mindset that there are so many unbalanced disturbed people with guns that there is a need to have an equal to or greater amount of armed “good guys" prevalent to counter the threat, which only proliferates the weapons and creates a greater likelihood for violence.

One obvious reason the SAIF shooting didn't get much coverage is that no one was injured.

The other is that - as other's have noted - this isn't an insurance company. It's an Oregon state agency that regulates compensation for injured workers. It's not controversial and doesn't have or deserve enemies like private for-profit insurance companies do.
