I think this is as funny as the next person but realistically what will change?

Won't they just elect another scumbag and keep going?

The assassination reminded us that they are not some sort of incorporeal beings, but that they can be killed.

I think it's a precedent, CEOs actually have something to fear aside from their job. Which usually fails upward with a good serverance package. This is also a sign that the Government and the laws of the land no longer works for the people. It's a good and a bad thing either way. Personally I think it's a huge mistake we made companies as a person. I think this is were the root cause is. Since it disconnects the accountability of the people working especially the higher ups.

If they’re a person it should go all the way. They should be able to go on trial for homicide. Some states still have the death penalty for people. Disband the company if it commits serious crimes.

Not if something also happens to the next one and the following one and so on.

At least some health insurance companies are temporarily easing up on denials or pausing shitty policies like limiting anthensia coverage during surgery.

That alone could save a few hundred lives, even if just for a little while.

Too much fat, it'd be unhealthy.

Turn the rich into soap and clean this society up!

Separate the fat. Make soap with it. Sell it to the rich.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tell them the soap removes toxins and you'll make a killing. Heh.
