I get the feeling Tim Wentworth is not in it for the money. He just enjoys seeing people die.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 56 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He looks like he's about to eat the photographers face off.

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He looks like the bad guy from Evil.

If you were watching a murder mystery movie and one of the suspects had a picture like that, you be justifiably annoyed at the obvious telegraphing of the final reveal with an incredible unambiguous sign of their unquestionable malevolence. That guy looks like someone used AI to make a surreal image of the Joker without makeup.

Disney Villain logic.

Opposite of the Halo Effect, ugly people catch a disproportionate amount of flak.

He's hungry. Hungry for souls.

That's an energy vampire if I've ever seen one.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My favourite depiction of any kind of vampire. Love him so much.

Maybe a deck of cards is in order. Populated with the top excecs in US healthcare

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone already did this.

It did not go well for them. AFAICT they were completely de-platformed everywhere, and the card processor for their online shop cancelled their account.

This would sell well AND everyone would know what greedy murderers look like so they can stay safe.

Why the Walgreens' CEO has unsettling smile..? I feel molested.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

He's killed and he's about to do it again.

Superhero movie villains are usually people or entities trying to bring about social change. They never seem to be villains who encourage death inside the current status quo though.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting, and probably true. I wonder if theres a breakdown anywhere of villians goals.

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Look at the diversity of that group!

Yeah, two of them are white women rather than white men! /s

He craves suffering

Only two women? We need more women in the soulless ghoul field💅💃

If enough male CEOs get Luigi'd, eventually their replacements will bring equal gender representation.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Is this what kids are calling Sigma grindset?

[–] scaramobo@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Wow that is quite a serious collection of i'm-dead-inside eyes. Guess you would have to be to consistently put selfish greed above all of human life.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

Tim Wentworth really looks like Leland Townsend (Michael Emerson)...

Witty is the CEO of UnitedHealth Group. Thompson was the CEO of UnitedHealth, a subsidiary of the UnitedHealth Group.

It's all annoying and confusing by design.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, I mean a literal nother Brian. Brian Tyler. But yes, that too, in a more metaphorical sense.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Took them a whole week to replace him. Got the new guy straight off the assembly line.

[–] Kystael@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Can a healthcare company CEO be a nice human ? Because for me the principle of the company is good I guess. i'm not american and most of our health expenses are handled by my country so I'm not USAn enough to understand.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

The way health insurance works is we (or more likely our employer) pay them, then when we go to the doctor they pay (some of) the bill. So, if you want to maximize profit as the insurer, you would find any way you can to not do the bill paying part.

tldr, their job is to kill people for profit.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It IS possible to have an ethical for profit health insurance company, but difficult.

The ceo/board has an obligation to maximise profit for shareholders, there is such a thing as a "minority shareholder lawsuit" so even if you control 90% of the shares, if 10% of the shareholders decide that you arent acting to make them as much money as possible they can still sue. There are ways around this like having the companies mission statement be "95% of premiums will be paid out as customer claims." Or similar. Making their money by having a larger market share or by vertical integration.

It could be done ethically, but it wont be.

Why isn't Aetna on this list?

I guess CVSHealth is the same thing

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago
