Simple solution: Don’t murder them in New York.
Ideally don’t murder people, but if you want to blend in, Chicago works in a pinch.

America on that any% speedrun to become Cyberpunk universe… trauma team, anyone?
Where’s my fuckin augs? I want to be able to go to the ripper doc to get sweet upgrades and get hired to do corporate espionage!
This is bullshit my chooms.
I’ve said many times the only thing missing between this reality and a cyberpunk dystopia is full-dive VR.
Android XR just got announced. And given they have little to no idea how to use it, it is going to be a full on ad space.

I don’t think so?

Well, being a CEO should be considered suicidal ideation. We already have a hotline for that.
Satire is dead. Not enough CEOs have followed suit.
That’s it, I’m founding my own LLC so I can be a CEO
Don’t they make enough money that they can pay their own security or set up their own hotline? Why does the citizens have to pay for it? Maybe their insurance can pay for it since it’s a high risk job.
Watch Congress turn bodyguards into something you can get a tax break for, like they did for private jets under Trump’s tax reform. In the end they’ll find a way to make sure we pay for it, not them.
We don’t pay for it with a tax break. They still pay for it they just get some money back for doing it come tax time.
Which is money that doesn’t go into the budget to be used for health care, housing or any of the other things ordinary people need.
Which means those of us without a bunch of loopholes to exploit have to pick up the slack.
Cool. Then the general public should be able to hire bodyguards for their kids in school for massive tax breaks.
Employees like that are generally already tax deductable.
I’m confused. Was there another CEO killed or harmed? Or was it still just the one? I mean, if CEOs were falling like flies in NY state, then I guess it would make sense to have a special hotline for a task force or something.
But if it’s still a tiny number of CEOs, then something like this would be a giant waste of government resources.
The only other one I know of is Bob Lee, the Cash App one a year and a half ago. The circumstances were completely different however, as His brother-in-law stabbed him in a ‘scuffle’ after Bob supposedly became manic (from drugs and/or alcohol) and attacked the guy.
The case has been ongoing since, though the jury is supposed to read a verdict in a little under 7 hours (9:30am PST)

Then again, journalists are mostly fair game.
But if it’s still a tiny number of CEOs, then something like this would be a giant waste of government resources.
I think you underestimate how deeply those in power value a CEO vs any one of us.
Edited to add that every single detail about how this case has been handled proves that.
Sometimes, wasting government resources is the point.
We should normalise saying “just another healthcare denial shooting” like people say “just another gang rivalry shooting”.
Giving them a special CEO hotline that normal folk can’t use isn’t going to make them more popular.
“Hi yes I’d like to report that a CEO is about to make a decision that could hurt themselves or millions of others. Yes i would like to have them committed and watched for the minimum amount of time. Thank you for your help.”
Errr…you guys have to wait on hold on 911? This isn’t just a joke?
It’s more common in high population areas, but it does happen.
The obsession with running government services like a business results in some notions about efficiency where someone getting paid to work and not being busy all the time is worse than people regularly waiting for critical time sensitive assistance.It also has the zesty side effect of making the dispatch operators overworked and rushed. This usually just manifests as mistakes, but sometimes results in anger and critical mistakes. The famous example of the operator who yelled at a kid for calling because his mom had a seizure in the bath and she didn’t believe him comes to mind.
People’s opinion on insurance: “boy am I glad that’s there if I ever need it”
Their opinion on having extra dispatchers to pick up bursts of activity: “why the fuck are we paying them to sit around”
Both of those things are stuff you pay for but may never need, but only one of them is a human and that’s the one we get upset about.
Just wow. I mean everyone has a really shitty day and stuff can happen,we’re all just human. But dispatcher is one of those jobs that should never be understaffed nor overworked. Like docs or nurses or EMTs or… Jeez…
Where I live not only do we get put on hold but sometimes they don’t answer (not enough dispatchers) and response time (except for shop lifters which is quick response) is about 4.5 hours for serious stuff and 72 hours, if they do show up according to my own experience and those I know in the community.
Their budget is right over $4 Billion/year. The area I live in gives a boost of around $60 mil/year on top for expanded help so we don’t have to have our own city PD.
Also I wanted to add it’s the Sheriff, so we do contribute to the 4 bill/year via county tax like everyone else and are in their jurisdiction already.
Fantastic return on investment.
Wtf? You’re us-american, right? 4.5hrs? Why even call at all. Makes it totally useless.
At one store of mine, robberies were regular. I had an automatic alarm,which called for cops and they were there not 3 minutes later. Granted their station was just 3 minutes away, but still. Robbers usually managed to find a general direction for what they wanted by that time. But I always had pristine new windows thanks to that 😁
4.5hrs…i could’ve gone there myself. After watching a movie, meeting some friends, doing the taxes and…
There’s a thread of legitimacy to “defending oneself and their property” in the US sure to how poor response times are, but honestly, it’s just stuff. Why risk killing someone or getting killed?
The distinctly inept class-traitors known as cops are understood to really only be there to file paperwork for insurance. Lock your good stuff up in a real safe with time controls.
Man…your cops are so different from ours. Maybe because it’s a real job here with requirements, mental and physical assesment, and even years long training. The assclowns won’t even survive day one of the assessments.
But also yeah, I wouldn’t risk self-defense either (if it’d be allowed). Stuff can be replaced. I just didn’t think of that coz noone carries guns here except cops. And maybe some mobsters. You just call the cops and piss off.
I’m not sure what changed, but NYPD et al have always been at least mildly corrupt. I wonder what changed that got them to forget to be honorable with the people they’re supposed to help.
Like you said, I also doubt many could handle a day in another country.
I wouldn’t wonder about corruption. Bad pay, hard economy and sluggish selection of cops lead to that. That is so sad, especially for a country that loves to see itself as civilization’s tip of the spear.
No wonder people have so much hate for cops
Nah those guys are getting 90k+ per year, almost best employee benefits in the city (after our sanitation guys), and a few other things.
Sluggish selection is a good question. If you look at a video of this incident, the Swedish cops on vacation broke up the brawl professionally and nobody got hurt.
Then and now, multiple people I’ve spoken with have expressed sincere doubt NYPD would have treated them as cleanly.
Legit, i thought that thing in only murders was just a bit
It’s a joke alright
Yes, in some jurisdictions this is common.
This idea would not be terrible, actually, you just need the right class allies on the other side of the line
Edit: to clarify, I meant having regular working-class people actively sabotaging it
Was waiting for a special type of Porsche, but tapparently I was wrong. Would be a good way to escape quickly Amy responsibility !
Or, we could go with a better solution - chain every health insurance CEO to a boulder, and throw them into the Sea!
And do it again! You and a friend!
Video tape and the party don’t end!
An excellent notion! In the spirit of compromise, I’d be willing to accept exiling them to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We could call 'em the Garbage Patch Kids!
