There are even greater implications ... such as Dow Chemical having a vested interest in the detrimental long term health effects which may exist in the working environment of their employees. So long as those health effects cannot be tied to company negligence, poisoning their employees covertly and keeping hidden those activities offer bonus payouts when the employee dies.
Brings a whole new view of fluoride in the water .. mercury and cancer viruses in the vaccines, and chemical spraying in the air ... deemed to be whacky conspiracy theories by the naive, trusting sheeple.
Yes indeedy.
Time to grow up, and wake up. To these SOBs you're more valuable dead than alive.
This just sounds sick, but consider why they buy it. For the same reason you do.
If you are a valuable bread earner to your spouse and kids then you buy life insurance so they don't have financial pain if you were to die.
Likewise a company buys life insurance for employees who are valuable to the company and whose death would bring it financial hardship.
In both cases you are still presumably worth more alive than dead in the long run. Yes they may have short-term financial motive for you to die but you could make the same argument for your spouse, doesn't mean life insurance is evil or that anyone is trying to kill you.

Yes ... a wal-mart checker dies, and wal-mart suffers financial hardship?

Yeah, my first corporate attorney, who named himself as agent of the corporation, told me he would need to take out a life insurance policy on me, because if something happened, where would he be?
I told him I would need to have a policy on him for the same reason. I said it with a killer's glare, and he dropped the whole idea.
Hey, maybe the Government can offer to buy a life insurance policy on all citizens and illegals.
Everyone's got to go sometime!
Some sooner, some later - depends on the Government's fiscal needs.
One cannot legally profit from contributing to the death of another. And, that is exactly what the government is doing via the coming health rationing. Figure it out, this is the government's "life insurance policy". But we are the ones stuck with the bill.
I am not sure I see the problem. These companies bought and paid for life insurance on their employees. Nothing was stopping the families from doing the same. The story is written to make us feel sorry for the families for not getting the money when really thier circumstance isn't any different that it would have been if the employer DIDN'T insure their employee.
I totally understand insuring "key" employees and don't begrudge them anything. While the whole "rank and file" part of this may be called into question for business reasons, there is nothing immoral about it and the families of those employees aren't being hurt in any way.
