    So if killing one person is bad, isn’t killing hundreds to thousands of innocent people/year hundreds to thousands of times more bad?

          I mean, yes it does change things for CEO+family. But nothing is going to change regarding how these companies treat people.

            I meant in the sense that he took a, well, normal insurer and raised its claim denial rates to one of the highest in the industry. The world is legitimately a better place with him gone, because while I doubt UHC will accept more claims at least he won’t be around to kill even more people.

                if only there was a recent example of how to effectively solve that particular problem…

                    of course it won’t! it hasn’t happened ever before either!

                    like it didn’t happen in 2011.

                    like it didn’t happen in 2006.

                    like it didn’t happen in the 1920s.

                    or the 1800s.

                    or the 1700s.

                    or the 1600s.

                    or the 1500s.

                    it’s always never happened before, and it always never happened again.

                    tyrants never got what they deserved before, so they’ll never get what they deserved again.

                    are you just unfamiliar with the entire concept of history?

                    here’s a handy list of all the times this exact thing never happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinations

      He isn’t except from the justice system last time I remember. He is also not personally and individual to blame for the sole responsibility of those deaths. Also a murder isn’t the same as a person dying of something else because that didn’t get treated.

      I’m not a total corpo bootlicker no worries, but I believe this is just one more death this whole system claims and I despise the celebration of his death. I believe in the end this death changes nothing, like I said
