World News

I agree, from the reporting it looks like just another "civilian murdered by somebody they know" which is much more likely than people think. But this wouldn't have even broken the news if not for the current zeitgeist, which is what I meant by "Stochastic Luigism".

Every boring death mildly connected to a hated corporation will get loads of attention, and even if in the end it's nothing worthy of note, it'll be a subject on people's minds. That the Standard chose to report in this clickbaity way to imply she was a relevant executive in the headline is a sign of the times.
