    This killing has created a very difficult question.

    If killing one of these CEOs can save tens of thousands of lives, then it is the morally correct thing to do.

    And that’s a huge problem with the system. Murder should never be the morally correct thing, but in this case it could save so many lives its impossible to argue against it being the right thing.

      All the “my claims magically aren’t being denied anymore after the 4th” posts are telling me that this action has already started saved lives. Theres a national conversation now happening about how the industry got so bad that more Americans are celebrating this execution than not, and what needs to be done to (nonviolently) fix the problem. Publicly killing a CEO proved to be an effective solution literally in the first 24 hours.

      The question is if it will say any lives. Personally I’m sceptical that it will

        It’s gonna take more than just one exec, its gonna take dozens, if not hundreds of them. But the math still checks out in terms of it being the moral thing to do.

        They’re killing people by the hundreds of thousands through their greed.

          You would essentially have to kill enough of them to scare the rest into submission.

          That’s also just if they don’t distance themselves further and further from normal people. Like in Cyberpunk 2077.

            Yeah they’re going to wait for the next news cycle or financial quarter then double down and increase security. As long as these companies make more money than they spend on protection and security then they will keep doing it.
