No, the obvious solution is universal healthcare funded by taxes. Healthcare in the sense of giving care, not withholding care.

The benefits are so obvious arguing for the current US system is disingenuous.

It is better to not be stuck between a truck and a tailgating asshole. So it would better to drive at or below the speed limit in your scenario.

You have to compensate by having a good margin in front of you as you cannot instantly break when you need to.

That is a good point, it probably will, and I do consider it bad.

Yeah, but keep in mind that nuclear waste has some time left to do damage. It’s not like a hydro plant is going to come back and haunt you in a 100 years from now. That’s what worries me with nuclear, aside from the fact that it’s too slow to build to be a solution to the climate crisis.

Solar, wind and hydro should be top priority in my opinion.

Edit: Want to add energy storage to top prio as well, as that is needed to balance the grid.

What does him being Jewish have anything to do with it?

How so?

Change of clothing is a reasonable approach if hiding from the law, no?

Yes, people were aware but feel they have no way to change it. Be it lying politicians, or the general problems of a two-party system.

The killing of the CEO made people feel it is possible to fight back at the system. Futile or not, at least “something”

This is what happens if citizens feel disenfranchised, which is the key here. This will scare some powerful people which it should. This is what you get in an unjust system.

I agree that that things will most likely not change, at least if we don’t take the opportunity to discuss why this happened and why people “cheer” on the killer.

I’m think the reactions to the killing of the CEO highlights how people feel they have no control in changing the healthcare system. The recent events is seen as some form of justice, and a feeling that someone is standing up for the little man.

While I think most people don’t usually like to celebrate murder, it does put the things in to perspective, and highlights the unjust system, because you can compare the act of the murder and the acts of insurance companies. You need to understand the context of these reactions and not just say people are “bad” for thinking it’s somewhat fair.

Politicians should take these reactions as a sign that things need to change. Hopefully this will be a catalyst, so something good comes out of it. Otherwise I think resentment will keep brewing and might cause more violence.

Edit: just wanted to add that the recent events has given people hope that things can change, which I think is the only positive side of this.

If the CEO doesn’t like hurting vulnerable people they can find another job. They don’t have to do it.

Is everyone equally responsible though? CEOs would have intimate knowledge of their business model, and power to change it. Otherwise they aren’t doing their job.
