This story really illustrates the sheer level of hatred emerging on the left. How much online discourse is cheering the death of some random person they never heard of before, all because of a political narrative? Its like watching a struggle session. Has anyone been wronged by this guy? Has he committed any crimes, hurt anyone, done anything wrong? What, hate him because he's a billionaire with a yacht and therefore we should despise the very fact of his existence? Except not even that. He lived in a mundane middle class home and was nowhere near a billionaire. Who cares, reddit and bluesky can cheer for more CEOS assassinated.
And its not like its just a groundswell of terrorist militancy spreading on the front page of reddit alone. Now we have journalists and other personalities making their endorsement of anarchoterrorism known. Taylor Lorenz of the NYT was postinf where to find the homes of more targets
I hesitate to comment, can you clarify the situation here, there is a lot of stuff coming out that is, quite frankly, appalling ( I am referring to these companies not paying out on claims and the ridiculous cost of medicine in the US).
some noteworthy incidents -
1. Martin Shkreli and Daraprim - He bought the right so a drug and promptly increased its price by over 5000%. While some may argue that this is capitalism, or americanism, at its finest, host sane people would point to this as a outlier to the big pharma problem in the US.
2. Mylan also price hiked the epipen by 600% within the space of a few years.
3. Insulin costs 30 dollars in Canada and 300-600 dollars in the US.
This is totally ridiculous and when combined with nonpayout of medical insurance, it makes the US a joke.
i am not calling americans a joke i am calling out a system of price gouging and insurance fraud a joke.
