    Two wrongs don’t make a right, but if a wrong today prevents millions of wrongs tomorrow, I think that’s a little different. The directive of that man was for the insurance company he led to deny lifesaving care to people which is effectively a death sentence to them. This isn’t one life versus another, it’s one life versus a fucking swath of others.

    Executing a man in the street is evil, but let’s not pretend that it’s more evil than the white collar mass murder that he was ordering.

      Yeah this guy probably had a LinkedIn page bragging about how much he’s done, so he can get paid the most to do it.

      He almost certainly publicly touted his efforts (if not on LinkedIn, another way) to deny people healthcare, so he could make more money. This is not a way to earn my empathy when it backfires.
