What do you expect to fundamentally change here? Corporations are legally required to put profits over people. Killing CEOs won’t change that. You cannot assassinate executives your way out of capitalism.
I swear, people do not understand how capitalism works despite being completely a part of the system. CEOs are easily replaceable and corporations will never, ever care about you except for how you can make them a profit.
CEOs are only replaceable because lots of people want to be CEOs. It’s not unreasonable to think that something like this would make them less keen. People don’t normally put themselves into situations where they’ll be legally obligated to do things that might get them shot.
I’m sorry, you are not going to end capitalism by assassinating some people. You cannot assassinate your way to corporations caring about you.
What you are going to do is end up killing people who had nothing to do with it. Because that’s where vigilantism leads. Every single time.
I’d tell you to ask Ahmaud Abrey or Trayvon Martin or Sunil Tripathi, but you can’t. Maybe you can ask this guy if you can find him. I’m guessing he rarely leaves his home these days.
I mean, it certainly brings some focus back to our for-profit healthcare industry and how it destroys lives. And now every healthcare exec can wonder when it will be them.
I’m a little surprised you of all people (based on the viewpoints I think I tend to see you express) are handwaving away the significance of this event.
I’m handwaving away the significance of the event because an ultra-capitalist who wants to make the healthcare system even more unfair just got elected president and, again, corporations are legally required to put profits over people.
Do you think this will suddenly make Trump sit up and say, “congress needs to make things more fair for the poor and I will sign that law?” Because that is literally what it would require.
Jesus Christ, how do you people not understand how capitalism works when you’ve spent all your lives in the system? Also, how do you not understand that Trump got elected president and congress is now majority Republican?
I know I should just give up and stop explaining how capitalism works to people, but this is really bugging me.

Well, I say we try anyway until a better option makes itself obvious.
