That's implying causation. Two children without a father and a widow with a broken heart happened. Why would anybody want to scramble to assume financial liability for such an incident?
Do I feel remorse for people starving in Venezuela? No, as I have done nothing to directly cause the starvation. Nobody's agony should have a claim on your financial resources or your property.
- kafkaesq 10y agoWhy would anybody want to scramble to assume financial liability for such an incident? Because it's the right thing to do (in this case).
- jimmywanger 10y ago> Because it's the right thing to do (in this case). Please explain how it's the right thing to do. Somebody committed suicide, was not covered by life insurance, didn't get life insurance.
- kafkaesq 10y agoPlease explain how it's the right thing to do. There's more to "doing the right thing" than simply "doing the bare minimum that the law requires you to do."
- SamReidHughes 10y agoUber isn't the guy that left two kids behind.
- kafkaesq 10y agoThat depends on how you look at the situation. His father and brother, who knew both the deceased and his general situation far better than you do, have made statements that strongly suggest otherwise: “He was always the smartest guy in the room,” said his father, Joe Thomas. But while working at Uber, “he went down the tubes. He became someone with very little confidence in himself. The guy just fell apart.” “It’s hard to explain, but he wasn’t himself at all,” said Zecole Thomas. “He’d say things like, ‘My boss doesn’t like me.’ His personality changed totally; he was horribly concerned about his work, to the point it was almost unbelievable. He was saying he couldn’t do anything right.”
- jimmywanger 10y agoIs "doing the right thing" just paying lots of money? With Uber having done nothing wrong? What are you advocating for?
- Chris2048 10y agoAre you reaching into your own pocket?
- flukus 10y ago> Because it's the right thing to do (in this case). In your opinion, uber obviously disagrees. Why is life insurance tied to a company in the first place?
- kafkaesq 10y agoWhy is life insurance tied to a company in the first place? Again, my focus is on the suffering that has been caused. Not statutory or contractual liability.
