This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    The comments here are what has prompted me to stop using Lemmy altogether. Farewell.

      Where the hell you going to go? The entire internet is this way. Going LAN only?

      This is not a lemmy problem. This is an everywhere problem. If you find a platform not talking about it then it is being heavily moderated and you’re going to be in an echo chamber. For instance Facebook had a United health memorial post with 25x more “haha” reactions than heart/ sad reactions.

      Best of luck though

      Edit: wall street journal has called this a “nationwide outpouring of anger and frustration”

      I agree with you. Most people on Lemmy have shown themselves to be disgusting and vile, wishing murder on innocent people. It’s fine as long as it’s not them or their family, as long as it’s anyone else.

        Who are you calling innocent? Literally thousands have died so this guy could get a bonus check.

          The Stockholm effect on some people 🧐 Problems don’t exist until it hits them directly, only then they scream for justice.

          That’s not true. You have no source for this accusation. This is like saying everyone who works at a job deserves to die. (Including yourself if you actually work.)

            What do you think happens when someone with a treatable condition that would normally lead to death is denied medication for that condition?

            They don’t magically get better.

            Under his leadership he had the highest (by far) denial of coverage rate of any healthcare company in the world.

            And was trying to push the number of denial to 90+%.

            That is millions of people.

            Do you think they all magically got better?

            The big question to me is, why doesn’t THAT bother you nearly as much? I don’t see your comments sharing any outrage in that direction.
