Came here to say the same thing. 4 people plus the shooter is dead at a school and no one has said anything about it! Who cares about the CEOs? Don't they have their own security?
Is she freaking for real??? Crisis lines should be set up for people who pay for healthcare and get denied. Lines for the parents and teachers inside a school that had a shooting. And so on and so on! Not for CEOs with more money that they can count and hire their own personal mental health experts or private security to filter their threats that they could also hire and have plenty of money left over. Can’t stand her to begin with and now this added to the list!
They seem to miss any of the inherent irony of having a bunch of corporate CEOs all gather together in the same place when they allegedly feel themselves in grave, unprecedented danger of vigilantism. In a country with more guns than people and where mental healthcare isn't covered by corporate insurance plans, ya know.
#1 Could this ludicrous proactivity be because Hochul is currying favor to get campaign contributions by CEOs and their corporations?
#2 The correct reaction by Hochul would have been to encourage legislature which will put an end to healthcare insurance industry CEO’s nefarious deeds which make them hated by the public. CEOs spit on the mission of supporting patients and instead prize claim denials. (Translation: claim denial = executive enrichment.)
#3 Hochul, the anencephlic broad, is laughable with her implication that ALL CEOs need protection and need it equally. Really? The CEO of a shoelace manufacturing company is in danger of assassination?😂
What’s next Hoch-fool? Subsidizing security for CEOs?
The Onion lampooned the mindset behind this years ago:
"U.S. Offers PlatinumPlus Preferred Citizenship
Published:
October 29, 1997
WASHINGTON, DC—In an 86-14 vote, the Senate approved legislation Monday establishing PlatinumPlus Preferred citizenship, an exciting new program offering special benefits and discounts to select members of the U.S.
“By becoming a PlatinumPlus citizen, you join an exclusive club of elite Americans,” said President Clinton, who signed the bill into law late Monday. “And as part of that club, you’ll be eligible for many special benefits, including tax breaks, excusal from jury duty, and vacations at special PlatinumPlus Caribbean resorts, which are off-limits to ordinary, EconoBudget citizenry. It’s our way of saying thank you to our best customers.”
“And, of course,” Clinton added, “there are never any annual fees.”
>>Gordon Alarie, CEO of the Dallas-based Integrated Systems Management Group, was among the first to receive a PlatinumPlus citizenship offer in the mail. “As CEO and founder of a Fortune 500 corporation, I’ve contributed a great deal to the U.S. over the years,” Alarie said. “It’s nice to know that now, with the PlatinumPlus Preferred citizenship program, I’ll finally start getting something back.”<<
That's exactly the mindset I see in the comments at Wall Street Journal.
SHAME. And however one classes Mangione's murder (not an assassination) of that CEO, it was most certainly not domestic terrorism. School shootings? Mass shootings? Legal people of color terrified of being dumped across a border?
Well, it's finally out in the open. The New York State government is acknowledging that it is working for the 1% and is basically telling the 99% to get lost.
Oh good, it is important for the poor CEOs to have someplace to turn to in time of need. Lord knows they don’t have the corporate resources (from our payments) to provide security!
Are they going to start doing this after school shootings too ?

"New York Convenes Safety Summit For Worried Executives" feels like a headline straight from The Onion.
lol

It really does. At this rate the Onion is going to run out of headlines.
Let’s just face it. They protect their own, and that does not include most people (paupers/tax payers).

The Democrats will continue to be irrelevant as long as they keep thinking they can fix things without displeasing donors.
Pretty sure the British thought the American colonials were terrorists, too.
How about a hotline for worried students and teachers?!?
i live in madison wisconsin where there was literally a mass shooting as i wrote this. awful
And the alleged mass shooter is a girl. 2A diversity is important in America.

Poor CEOs, pulling down millions a year-- maybe they should all be given a prescription to Prozac too. ?
If the CEOs were treated like the rest of us, their Prozac prescriptions would be denied, pending review.
Who will be paying for bodyguards?
YOU the people!

Another swing and miss by Hochul
a move she's perfected
This is a ridiculous thing to use up all of these resources for. What about the kids getting killed in schools likely every single day???
BOO!
No one worries about threats against me. I suppose I should be more sympathetic. *Sigh

Won’t someone think of the poor CEOs?!
