I am here for uplifting news like this!
Begun, the class war has.
Gooood, let the proletariat flow through you
Yes :) that’s right. Keep reporting on class warfare, please.
If you’re bored. I’m drunk and will tell you stuff!
The city of Lake Oswego, where this CEO lives in Oregon, gets it’s name from… A big lake. Called Lake Oswego.
Now, Oregon has some fun and cool laws that are fun and cool, like every “navigable waterway” in Oregon, since statehood, must have public access. So for example all of the coastline in Oregon is open to the public, even though it’s windy, cold, and miserable 70% of the year. But in the summer, there’s tons of space to find quiet, beautiful peace.
Lake Oswego, however, is in CONSTANT BATTLE with the state because the city is always trying to find loopholes to privatize the lake to the super wealthy people who live on the lake. Their lawyers, no joke, argues that “the public can see the lake. That’s access”. They even have a fucking stone plaque that says “private lake, stay on the sidewalk” at the adjacent park.
It’s still in court. Right now, people can swim only in one of the parks. So it counts as access. But the people pursuing the most recent lawsuit are kayakers I think. So ongoing?
Anyhow, Lake Oswego is pretty much the richville of Portland, Oregon suburbs and wants to kick out the plebs. Their Target is fancy.
For locals, there’s a bad ass bar there I know the owners that’s fucking great with the best music in the state! Private message for that info. But fuck that city either way. The owners don’t live there.
I used to like going to the lake theater on weekdays I had off. Usually pretty empty, can get a nice burger and a beer and see a movie.
I stopped going because I’d almost get run over by rich, blonde women, driving large luxury SUVs while texting their real housewives of lake Oswego chat every single time. Haven’t been down that way in a decade and don’t miss it.
Their lawyers, no joke, argues that “the public can see the lake. That’s access”. They even have a fucking stone plaque that says “private lake, stay on the sidewalk” at the adjacent park.
Hypothetically, if someone were writing a fictional story about a Luigi type of hero in that situation, what would be the quickest and fastest way to destroy that stone plaque?
No idea. Crow bar and toss it in the lake?
So. As a Stone Mason …I sorta feel obliged to point out that, sorry, that is a BRASS sign.
Good news is it’s almost certainly been attached with 2 shortish pegs into the stone and some chemfix, epoxy or the like. Also a good chance there’s no pegs at all and it’s just epoxied straight to the stone…
Either way, crowbar will, hypothetically, take that right off with no issues.
Their punishment is to spend every winter in SUNY Oswegos freshman dorms. Let the lake take them.
Wow !! thanks for the story
Lake Oswego also used to be one of those, ahem, “exclusive” towns. Which naturally gave rise to the local nickname “Lake No Negro”.
Thank you drunk person. Very informative.

This is truly my favorite gif this year
Luisus? Jesigi?
He killed (well no it wasn’t him) for our sins
In America, shots get fired into people’s homes on a daily basis. That sort of thing doesn’t usually make even statewide news.
We should worry about fixing those other problems before worrying about some rich prick. If the rich person is so concerned about their safety, why don’t they just hire some private security?
I don’t see any reason why this is being treated as news.
No. This is how we fix the other problems. You don’t let the cancer grow and treat the symptoms; you kill the cancer.
Because this was likely a message.
I’m sorry, I didn’t catch what they said, could they repeat it?
So are shots fired at normal people’s homes. Usually it’s a message from a rival gang but it’s still a message.
Because all the other times people shoot into houses it just happens that their guns are pointed there and loaded and the security mechanism is a bit wonky and all of a sudden 50 bullet holes in the wall and windows…
Message to who about what?
We commit no crimes when we save our country.
It’s a start.
Gotta keep the momentum going.
Gotta use those blue shells when you play Mario kart as Luigi.
Mario Kart all sorts of extra tools to help to get from last place get into first place.
Didn’t feel bad reading the headline
Nobody was injured in the shooting
But how quickly things change these days
I felt bad… it sort of implied a failure since it was such a short headline.
I wonder how this is affecting life insurance rates for insurance CEOs.
Any kids or spouse present?
With how reckless this was I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a Boogaloo stunt to frame leftists either. They were caught doing that with George Floyd protesters after all.
We should be doing the same at trump-related events. There are no rules anymore. We already know that right-wing terrorists get coddled by police, so there is practically 0 risk
Yeah if there was no one home this is the equivalent to a publicity stunt.
I’ll wait to see if they start passing legislation to protect CEOs before I call “false flag” though
They were home. They thought it was rocks at the time.
can’t deny it, it’s time to defend and depose.

the new claims motto
This was a workman’s comp insurance CEO not a US healthcare CEO. The difference is unlike healthcare insurers, workman’s comp isn’t paid into by the victim and they actually provide some benefit at least in theory.
Except if you ask anyone that’s ever had to deal with workers comp its always too little too late and a mountain of bullshit. Workers comp is arguably even worse than normal health insurance companies to deal with.
When my mom needed workers comp they had her do x-rays six months later then tried to say it was a six month old preexisting condition.
Again in theiry the difference is workman’s comp still provides a service whereas other than rent seeking I am not sure what us health insurers do.
Workers comp insurance fights about as hard as other insurance companies to fuck you over. My girlfriend ended up rather disabled after an incident at her job and their workman’s comp fight like hell to blame a previously unknown health condition, and the LTD people managed to get out of paying once STD ran out and she didn’t have the money to fight it.
Insurance is insurance, and fuck them all.
In theory regular insurance provides the same benefits as worker’s comp and the cost of both come out of paychecks one way or the other.
Worker’s comp is just insurance with even more steps.
Workman’s comp wouldn’t be necessary if we had universal healthcare.
No, then you allow employers to export their job risk cost to others. Employers should pay for injuries and illness caused by work (if care was required it would be great if universal existed).
That said, yes lots of WC is shitty insurers trying toinimize care/cost and get the person back to work.
Workman’s comp isn’t just covering hospital bills, it also covers lost wages while recovering or retaining if you can’t go back to your old profession.
That would more logically be handled by unemployment.
deleted by creator
Unemployment is a no-fault general fund for a regular result of an economy. Workman’s comp is (as in its name) is compensatory. They’re giving workman’s comp because otherwise you might be able to sue for damages due to an unsafe workplace.
Automobile insurance would be drastically less as well.
Everything would be far less complicated and expensive if we did universal healthcare.
I don’t really care what he’s the CEO of.
Rich people need to redistribute their wealth or die.
It’s that simple.
I pray they do so peacefully, or if they refuse, that we can do what we must without losing our humanity.
The Soviets are a cautionary tale: they were forced to slay monsters and demons to gain their freedom, but somewhere in the process of slaying monsters they became monsterous themselves. That isn’t a critique of communism, but rather that war can turn men into demons.
Oh boy, ultra wealthy taking even a 1% cut to their paychecks? They would rather pay that cost to lobbyists to make them even more money. Fuck them, they should burn.
Define rich.
They are generally on par with uhc from my experience with them
