        I think that’s a totally different problem not solved by shooting replaceable executives

          I honestly prefer this to bombings and riots and such. At least its targeted. These problems are not a magical effect coming from the ether. Its decisions by those in power and every replacement is an opportunity for better decisions.

          There’s an analogy that Robert Heinlein liked regarding assassination

          It’s like shooting horses that can’t clear a jump until you get one that can

          But it misses the fact that humans see what happened to the last guy and are motivated to not let it happen to them, and in cases like this it’s pretty obvious what hurdles health fund CEOs need to clear

          It will not solve the problem, for sure, but I can’t disagree that it could have some effect xD.

        There are plenty of people who would replace him in a heart beat.

        Murdering never really accomplishes anything

            I don’t want a revolution though

            What kind of thinking is that? Ah yes, let’s start a revolution. Revolutions always have great endings. They never lead to dictatorships.

              Do you want to stand by while politicians enact laws that hurt your friends and family? Do you want to stand by while corporations take everything from us?

              At some point, the common person will take too much and fight back. Will you just stand by?

              I agree, the US should’ve stayed under colonial rule and France should still have a King.

      I know it is, but it’s important that people don’t forget about the hundreds of thousands of people murdered by insurance companies denying claims every year.
