We're supposed to help OUR PEOPLE! Starting with the stockholders!

>We're supposed to help OUR PEOPLE! Starting with the stockholders!

What did he mean by this?

He means that they're supposed to help their people, starting with the stockholders.

A Company is like an enormous well lubricated cock PENETRATING my loophole

The first dose of neoliberal capitalism for the young.

Bob, though being a generous and kind man, was unfortunately not in the right in this situation. He was handing out coverage to people who didnt qualify, and like any business, they're in place to make money, not hand it out. Bob was putting his job, and his fellow employees at risk in the long run. If he still wanted to save lives, he could have become a volunteer firefighter. Now we dont know what sort of limitations each insurance plan had, or if they were crooked, but as it stands Bob was being a bleeding heart because he couldnt be a hero anymore

It means he doesn't understand that an insurance company that denies every single customer is gonna go out of business pretty fast.

No, he means that Bob doesn't understand that an insurance company that accepts every single customer is going to go out of business extremely fast.

One of these is mathematically true, the other is just infantile naivety.

but those people did qualify
that was the whole point

Honestly its been forever since Ive seen the movie, and from my recollection his clients didnt qualify and had to send them to other agencies

That man out there.

He is getting RAPED.

They qualified but the system was made purposefully Byzantine to prevent it.

Well lets hope they dont cover him!

>that accepts every single customer
Insurance companies shouldn't accept every single customer, but once they've made a contract with a customer, they need to actually pay up if the conditions are met, while still being diligent and making sure there is no fraud. Denying every single claim without clause is bad business that leads to bad publicity.

He wasn't sending them to other agencies, he was teaching them obscure legal workarounds that would let them qualify even though their initial claim was denied.

He means they're a business and like every insurance company, you don't make money paying out claims.

I'll rape her. It'll be easy; like raping a toothpick.

...

Insurance companies are pure evil and people who work for them legitimately have no soul.

his clients did qualify, but the information made publicly available to them was an intentionally confusing labyrinth of misdirection such that only a legal expert who also knows the company inside actually knows what the required paperwork for a given type of case is. and demonstratably, the boss had instructed all his employees to always tell every client "if you don't have the proper paperwork, I can't help you" and if they ask what paperwork they need "I'm sorry, that's not my division"

in other words the company was structured so that only clients rich enough to afford to send a good lawyer on their behalf would get the payments they qualify for, while all the middle class clients are just giving their money away and getting nothing in return

This. If Insurance had existed 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ would've been all about shutting it down.

He means that his business makes money by not doing what you pay them to do. Which seems counterproductive.

These aren't the answers OP is looking for guys. He wants to talk about jews because that's epic and funny.

Queer

>raping a toothpick
STOP.

Reminder that the majority of insurance profits come from investing premiums, not from withholding claims.

True, they just withhold claims for shits and giggles.

Was the guy getting robbed one of his stockholders? I mean, it was happening right outside the building.

ENORMOUS
C O C K

Reminder that Chaotic Good is the best alignment.

...

It's pretty weird how much "real" stuff the movie put in. The whole opening segment ends with a guy suing the hero for stopping his suicide.

>a guy suing the hero for stopping his suicide.

That was so insanely cynical and dark for a kid's movie

That's not "real" at all though. A "real" case would be the lawsuit getting thrown out immediately because suicide is illegal and Good Samaritan laws are a thing.

That man is being RAPED

NO RAPES

But the guy got paralyzed however. Can't you make a case out of that?

No, you can't, because that's literally the whole reason Good Samaritan laws exist.

not every Samaritan law is the same. Some states it only applies to trained professionals (Which as a vigilante, Mr. Incredible probably doesn't count). Others it only applies to certain kinds of treatment, e.g. CPR.

and when everyone is a rapist...

Even his boss outright admitted Bob wasn't doing anything illegal. He was well within the law and to do what he was doing. His boss plain and simply didn't like it.

>We're supposed to help (((((OUR PEOPLE)))))! Starting with the (((((stockholders)))))!
I thought it was pretty clear.

Would good Samaritan laws even exist in a world with superheroes?

These guys, aren't like those guys in those Saturday morning cartoons. If they catch you, they will rape you, if you give them the chance.

Don't give them that chance.

It was implied that it was just the normal channels the customers were supposed to have available... I mean there might be nuances to this stuff but since narratively the boss is supposed to just be an asshole we can assume the details would make Bob out to be in the right if we knew them

It would make superheroes more likely. Since it could prevent them from being sued. Which is what happened in the world of The Incredibles and why there aren't that many superheroes anymore.

Nuke the banks

>Denying every single claim without clause is bad business that leads to bad publicity.

What are they gonna do, find a more ethical health insurance company?

He was just sending them to correct people within the agency, and providing them with the correct info to give them. When his boss was expecting him to be a gatekeeper preventing customers from reaching the proper channel.

Exactly.

"They're dodging every loophole, avoiding every obstacle... THEY'RE PENETRATING THE BUREAUCRACY!"

Bob's boss was just a miser, sacrificing short-term gains (reducing payouts) for long-term profits (public perception of being a helpful, caring company vs. one that treats customers like crap). Everyone knows petty tyrants and bad managers who act like that. I once had a boss who told my two co-workers and I that we couldn't talk while working because it was 'too distracting' and 'slowed us down'. We were so quiet that her boss came over to see if we were okay, because he could usually hear us chatting and laughing. And he liked that, since it meant our morale was high.

When we told him about our new order, you could see him bluescreen for a moment before he said "Yeah... you don't have to follow that any more. If she gives you any trouble over it, send her to me."

How big does a company have to get in order to be able to afford being openly evil?
Like EA levels of evil.

Probably about as big as EA, I'd say.

Gotta be niche too, since there's only so many places a vidya dev can find a job and they can't be choosy.

Reminder that Google/Alphabet quietly dropped their "Don't be evil" motto several years ago

Depends on the industry.

I may or may not kill you

>Which as a vigilante, Mr. Incredible probably doesn't count
actually Mr Incredible and indeed pretty much all Supers were Government sanctioned, that's how the lawsuits were even able to happen, because there was someone attached to the supers that could be sued, in this case the Federal Government

jej

What was her endgame?

EA is a tiny company by the standards of the giants. EA's annual revenue is a mere $4.8 billion. Its place on the fortune 500 list is...673.

dude capitalism is bad lmao!

The government.
Bob's boss was a prick but he shouldn't get away with assaulting him in a situation where any person with average physical strength in the exact same situation with wouldn't.

to out-Jew the system

stop right now, OR YOU'RE FUCKED

> capitalism has no flaws

Do you think the mooks got paid well?

Well you are not guaranteed anybody competent, like those guys who were planning to drink on the job.

Well, let's hope it's the Joker!

Bob was helping them cut the bureaucracy of the insurance company to successfully get their claim.

His boss was of the opinion of denying and delay for profit, make the books and his division look better.

He means your insurance premiums are going up, sugar pie.

...

It's less about general size and more about how much of a market share they control within their field.

Comcast is able to be such an incompetent cunt because there's few alternatives.

Yes? Burning your customers just drives them to competitors. Whether they're actually more ethical is irrelevant when they have the perception of being so.

You FUCK

...

I like you

Oh fuck my aides

How long have there been Good Samaritan laws? Bob got sued in the 1950's.

Oh god THAT fucking thread..

>having such a skewed sense of importance about vidya that you think EA is anywhere close to the levels of evil that other companies reach

Oh sure Nestle stole tribal water supplies and then intentionally reduced mothers' ability to breastfeed their children so they'd have to buy their bottled water and formula, but EA ruined that game I liked!

>You didn't save my life, you ruined my death!

"We're supposed to actually protect and secure our clients? INCONCEIVABLE!"

If insurance companies had their way, they'd blow smoke up your ass and force you to keep paying their dues right up until you need their help. At that point, they'd be free to pull out any one of several dozen lines of fine print and deny you all coverage.

If Bob had gone postal and punched everyone in the company above middle management into orbit, the average American's access to healthcare would have actually improved.

WHERE'S THE RAPIST, MANSLEY?!

Most of them already do.

Not unless you're in China. Where you can't even help someone you find who is injured because that guy can decide to sue you for injuring him even if you didn't do it and the law would be on his side.

The boss outright states that he doesn't give a shit if people qualify, he just doesn't want the company to pay out.

I know you manlets have to look out for each other but come on

>People care about and are more aware of things that affect them personally than things that happen on the other side of the world that has nothing to do with them.

Stop the fucking presses

BEHOLD THE UNDER-RAPER

I ALWAYS RAPE BENEATH YOU

BUT NO RAPE IS BENEATH ME

Let's do the math op

Not even fetal rape?

Why didn't the Superheroes just overthrow the government?

That stockholders are people too.

I mean you're not wrong, I think that while stuff like EA having a negative impact on certain vidya related things sucks, they did not at all deserve to be voted "worst company in america", at the end of the day the wrost things they do are ruin some aspects of games, not cause sickness or death of severyly reduced quality of life for a great many people, which cannot be said about a great many other comapnies in the US, LETALONE the world. Sad but true.

He was telling Bob to take bribes. The person filing the claim gives you a little extra money to buy a stock in the company. Then, and only then do you help them. Bob was too thick to understand.

I think you'd really enjoy the injustice comics

...

But capitalism has its flaws. I love capitalism but the very real issue is that an amoral business man will win every time against a moral business. That is pretty well established in game theory. If you want to instantiate some sort of ethics into business you have to make some sort of sanctions and rules etc. I love the benefits of capitalism and detest commies and far left socialists as much as the next guy but come on now.

No one will be...
