    if ceo assassinations were a tenth as common as school shootings, the usa would have the toughest gun control laws in the world.

    Totally calling that line (from a Google voice number obtained on a VM) to chat with the underpaid folks about the inanity of their job but how they should take that paycheck and also demand more because the lines are flooded.

      you know that google can map the call to your IP and your provider (or VPN provider) the IP to your payment method, right?

        Not mullvad. Paid for my VPN with cash.

        You know that spoofing an IP is trivially easy, right?

              no, for your IP packages that you spoofed the sender adress on. how do you think the remote host will reach it?

                  when you open an IP connection for your phone call or your VPN, there need three packages to be sent back and forth. you won’t get the second one if you spoofed the IP, hence the call or VPN won’t even start.

    Ironically, if you really wanted to make healthcare CEOs safer, you’d set up a hotline for people who have been denied medical coverage.

    I’m sure no online community would constantly prank call that hotline 😎👍

      I mean, it’s not hard to become a CEO. It’s not expensive to register an LLC. And you can give yourself whatever stupid title you want.

      And, whose to say I, a newly minted CEO, don’t feel in fear for my life due to my health insurance company? Make yourself a CEO, and any time they deny a claim, call in to report your health insurance company for threatening your life.

    Someone should hack it so it just redirects to Kitboga’s scammer-trapping labyrinth.

    Or better yet, it detects which CEO is calling, and it just dumps the bastards into their own company’s AI-hell phone tree.

    I prefer my punishments to be ironic.

    There’s a good chance that if this gets enough push back they’ll just implement it quietly and call it something else. Nobody will even know.

    What prevents anybody from calling? Or any self employed from giving themselves the title of CEO? Are they going to reject CFOs and other Cs?

    Why do I think this will end up being “hotline for rich bastards”?
