    You can’t have CEO murder without a CEO. It takes two to tango, as they say. You saw what his AI denial system was doing, and walking down the street alone at that time of day. I’m not saying he was asking for it, but he could have taken reasonable precautions likenot making sociopathic business decisions.

    Besides, if it’s a legitimate assassination the Executive Suite has ways to try and shut that whole thing down using ethics. But let’s assume maybe that didn’t work or something in this case. I think there should be some sort of punishment, but the punishment should be on the unregulated inhuman greed our healthcare system has become.

      Did you see what he was wearing? You can’t just walk around dressed like a CEO and expect not to get shot. Nobody dresses like that unless they want attention from assassins.

        How do the cops phrase it when they talk about black people they randomly accidentally murder?

        “Authorities say the suspect, one Brian Thompson, was not currently under indictments for murder or fraud, and it is not known when or if he stopped beating his wife or engaged in gangbanging and drug distribution. They stress that the suspect is not currently known to be a pedophile, and that he is innocent untill proven guilty.”

      If we can harp on women for deserving to be raped based on their attire we can totally harp on CEOs deserving to get murdered based on their sociopathic behavior.

    Most of the worldhas figured out how to give universal healthcare to there citizens but the US, after electing a pedo oligarch for the second time are celebrating shooting CEO ( spoiler, it wont bring free healthcare to anyone). This is the systen you created and voted for.

    It feels like 30% of Americans will consistently give whatever they think the wrong answer is. In US polling, 70% is basically everyone.

        The study you’re presumably referencing actually is said to quote it at 7%. So great news, there are about a quarter as many morons as you thought!

        The other great news is that, the Innovation Center For US Dairy (the source of our famous chocolate milk study) wasn’t done asking and answering serious journalistic questions!

        Thanks for bringing this group to my attention. Their rigorous and thoughtful work is crucial because as we all know, if the questions are insane, the answers don’t matter.

          I love that cows eat chocolate because it’s good for them. That made my day. I’ll try to forget about the whole industrial farming nightmare behind it though…

          Thanks! I considered looking the true stat up but it was just too silly and I couldn’t be bothered. This was even better than looking it up myself because now you gave us bonus silliness.

        Omg this hurts. My mom legit thought this until she married my dad and they went out on a trip to the country together and he had to set her straight. Like she was in her 20s when she learned that’s not how it works.

        To be fair, my parents were city people.

              Agreed, sincerely. Trying can be a greater effort than we can give sometimes, so to try is to keep fighting the good fight.

              The battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat.

          Valid complaint but bad framing. It’s not in the interests of the two parties to change the voting system, so they’re never going to make it an option. You want that, you’ll have to stop asking politely.

            It’s a piece of paper. If everyone on Tiktok posts themselves writing a third party candidate, they would all do it.

            Personally, I believe most of the country doesn’t want a better leader and everyone just blames the two party system out of convenience.

      My guess is a coin toss between peoples whos mental process went “murder bad, end process” or people who would happily take a turn driving the orphan crushing machine.

      In either case, morons… Nuanced opinions are allowed, and that seems where the majority has landed, if they are a bit inconsistent.

        or people who would happily are totally due to take a turn driving the orphan crushing machine.

        (It’s not like a population would work poverty wages for decades if there weren’t a decent chance of driving a little orphan crushing)

      I’ve been seeing op-ed’s where people are trying to make the mainstream media being at fault for villainizing anything and everything about America. So some people have probably gotten hooked by that
