>“When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.“
— Friedrich Engels 1845

America is something beyond sad because it took the demise of a healthcare CEO to start the conversation about how fucked up the system is and how they all fuck us over no matter what side of the aisle you sit on but now they’re having their mouth pieces and their legacy media trying to tell us otherwise! This should have been the conversation all along because they know they’re fucked once everyone sees the game being played !

Executives used to at least pretend to have morals and ethics.
Some, a sense of shame, too. They wanted to at least LOOK good among friends, family and neighbors.
Ethics these days, though?
Our whole medical insurance system has been infected, festering into a hellish satire of actual ethics, by twisted roots and evergreen leaves, like this CEO. His leaf poked out of the very highest branches, having grown large, stealing energy from the sunshine of healing intended for those below.
He thrived off the roots, too, devouring a steady diet of fertilizer made from the corpses of the masses below. That energy, also, flowed to the height of the tree, leaving the “lesser” parts, in the shadows, to waste and die. He was a leech, a tree sucking mutant spawned by a parasitic root that, in a healthy tree, would be killed before it grew tall enough to slither toward the light, misappropriating the nutrients needed by everyone, for himself.
An arborist finally arrived.

The CEO’s need to realize the working class is the hand that feeds them. And it’s time to smack them back. I purpose on May 1st we go on a nationwide strike. Really only need 60% of the population to strike to be effective but a higher percentage will send a bigger message. Remember what happened when covid hit ? This time let’s make a statement that we are done with their shit.

It’s a great point. The double standards of society that Luigi is making us think through right now. The question is whether there are any leaders out there who care enough to solve the problem.
