Might need to update the hair cut on this:

    IMHO: While yes the dead CEO killed a lot of people, in a functional society Luigi wouldn’t be celebrated because the sick cunt of a CEO of United would have never been in a position to kill other people. And Luigi’s assassination would have never happened and would not be celebrated. Just the symptoms of a fundamentally broken system showing and everyone is ignoring the cause. The EU shows how healthcare should be, but the idiots in Maga-land would scream “communism” and work against their own interests. And the result is that Americans are forced to live in a corporate infested shithole. No one’s talking about that aspect, because this would be very bad for the very few people who are profiting massively off of the misery of the American people.

      I’m not sure what conversation you think is happening but it has been my experience that everyone is talking about the thing you’re saying no one is talking about.

              It seems a little obtuse to conflate all of the EU countries’ healthcare systems into one, given that they are different and that the EU itself doesn’t legislate in that field.

      The EU is a wide net with a lot of different healthcare systems that vary by nation.

      Though pretty much all are better than the US.

      I agree with you, but I think what you’re saying in the beginning is the baseline belief for most people.

      And on your second point, even MAGA fucks hate the 1%; they’re just brainwashed to think that their party of choice isn’t in bed with them.

      You’re being massively downvoted, not because you are wrong about the cause, but because you are wrong about nobody talking about it. People have been talking non-stop about it ever since Congress voted down Hillarycare in the 90s, and the health insurance companies went psycho.

      What people aren’t talking about is how this is simply a predictable movement of the Free Market. The CEO had implemented policies that increased financial and medical hardship and suffering, to the point that the market made a spontaneous correction by spawning a customer disgruntled enough to take action.

      As a result of that Free Market action, studies have shown that the CEO’s company, as well as other health insurance companies, loosened up their policies, at least for a while. Certainly, every health care CEO will think about this Free Market correction the next time they consider implementing some pyscopathic policy.

      This is exactly how the Free Market is supposed to work when it is allowed to operate unfettered by regulations, like PedoCons are always demanding. Or we could implement reasonable, common sense regulations that will keep the Psychopathic Oligarchs from going to far with their experiments.

      Nobody is talking about THAT.
