Like...i get that Murder is bad and the man had family...but a surprisingly large part of me doesnt feel Empathy in this case.
I think it goes to show how much CEOs have made our lifes worse, how their Greed and practices have negatively affected us.

When you read this kind of stuff, what money the man made, how many people have been denied and died etc...its hard to feel sad.
Especially when since his Murder, several companies have cancelled various things that factual make life worse for common people.

I cant really say how i feel about this.
Happy is the wrong word but i also lack the typical sympathy i have when people Die.
Its a very strange feeling.

I'm not going to say he deserved to die or anything like that. But he was probably responsible for denying coverage to many people in America when he was working for that Healthcare company.

So, like you said, I'm feeling it hard to feel sympathy for someone that used to do stuff like that for a living.

In 24 hours several Companies stopped actions that would hurt the common people and scramble to erase the names of their CEOs from the internet in fear.
You dont need to support the reactions to the murder and all...but this should tell you how afraid CEOs are of the common folk and people should wake up and realize that CEOs dont hold the power, we do.

Right about now is a good moment in time to fight back big time.
Not by murdering CEOs of course, but by not letting them dictate the narrative any longer.
They are afraid of what will happen if we stand up to them, that has been never clearer than in those past 24 hours.

They have milked us to the bone while pointing finger at our neighbours who they milk like us, claiming they are to blame for our problems...when its only their greed that is to blame.

I'm the same. It feels more like karma.
