This is just another proof that we live in a capitalist dystopia. Only rich lives matter.

Seems like its the other way around on here. Honestly, the insurance system should just change to universal health care and if wealthy people aren't content they could just buy an extra insurance on top or pay themselves while still contributing to public health. The system is at fault, not a replaceable CEO. Because while he might be replaceable for the company, he sure still had a family, friends and nothing will change now

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps, wishful thinking I know... But perhaps, this will give the next CEO some slight pause when considering screwing over millions of people for the financial gain of already rich people. PERHAPS, now that there's a tangible consequence for being a greedy murderous asshat, they'll think twice.... Probably not, but I can hope.

The "replaceable CEO" is part of the reason the system is broken in the first place.

Imagine the brouhaha if it were musk or bezos. All the justice felt over this is just venting with no effect on IRL events. Matter of fact, his job will likely be filled sooner rather than later. This will be just a minor blip on the big screen of history

That's true of almost everything. Especially our comments here. But if people find solace in karma, I'm not going to bash them for it.

It at least has the effect of getting us to imagine if it were Musk or Bezos.
