    So you’d rather live in a world where indirect murder and death are normalized. You are fine with people dying as long as it’s “clean” and orderly. As long as it’s always discussed calmly in the abstract, and in terms of statistics, percentages, economics, and policy.

    You want to act like you are morally superior to everybody because you’re “rational” and would never stoop to dank meme about a super rich CEO of a multi-billion dollar insurance corpo.

    Well let me put it in terms you might appreciate: This CEO’s death shouldn’t be mourned because the world is a slightly better place now that he is dead. He made millions of dollars and lived a more lavish lifestyle than 99.99% of people will ever experience. And he did that with money he made by causing the deaths and suffering of thousands of innocent, vulnerable people via the policies and practices of the company he was in charge of for years.

    See? Cold, abstract, and calm. Is that “rational” enough for you?
