Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

With all of the violence going on in the world today, I am constantly surprised at how little of it is directed towards insurance company offices.
Look, I'm not saying that I endorse or encourage the idea. I'm just saying that it's a constant source of disappointment that American society decided that school shootings are a thing to do, and not "bank and insurance company headquarters" shootings.
In my experience most offices and banks have more security than schools. You can’t even get into the building where my office is without a keycard for the front door and a virtual pass that’s tied to your work email.
Those guards are class traitors 🤷♂️
Maybe not the offices, but the homes of the owners and CEOs. I have family that works in insurance as a typical office peon, they don't deserve to be shot they'd probably join you in shooting the CEO lol
I'm not sure why it's surprising, they're literally preying upon the people that are too sick to fight back against them.
Those people have families and friends who understand their loved one's death was preventable.
Those people still have something to live for so they stay within the bounds of societal rule, again not very surprising.
