    Maybe. But notice how that narrative has disappeared from mainstream media entirely. Back when people running printing presses were on the side of the revolutionaries, things escalated.

      What I am noticing is the pervasive narrative that if a few more (very replaceable) CEOs die, America’s healthcare problems will be solved.

        I get that they are all replaceable. It reads as a broader statement against all industry, rather than just healthcare.

          It’s a bad narrative no matter how broadly you want to make it.

          You cannot assassinate your way out of systemic issues. You certainly can’t just sit around and wait for other people to assassinate people on your behalf and expect it to make things better for you.

          But sure, keep hoping for the next Luigi to come along and end capitalism with one well-placed bullet.
