Honestly I don’t think a jury would have convicted him had he decided to fight it...

What I find abhorrent is a lot of people are cheering for this POS that deserves life in prison. Preferably a really harsh one.

United Health Care adopted an AI tool to dismiss claims automatically.

If you dig, there are a lot of reasons people cheer him.

The only way to convict him would have been by a jury composed of people of the same social status as his victim.

To everyone else he lanced a boil.

The guy he killed ran generic EvilCorp # 7 which immiserated (immiserates) people at their absolute lowest. Its a wonder there arent more copycats, nevermind people cheering.

I think one of the reasons why capitalist societies adapted versions of the welfare state was to hold back the pitchforks and torches and make Marx less appealing.

I fear now the pitchforks and torches are coming and more people are seeing Marx as a how-to manual. And the capitalists, especially the billionaire class, have to look in the mirror to find out why.
