I really don't understand how and why he doesn't rather receive a huge award and a statue in his honor for having eliminated a rotten and abominable scourge and leech like that monster was and as in fact any CEO of any insurance company is, instead of prosecuting him as a criminal. Like, insurance industry is what should be illegal, he did only the correct thing.

Um, because people don’t get awards for things they didn’t do

Normal people don't. But if you're a billionaire who buys talent then people call you a genius who made Tesla or Amazon.

If the next dem président has any balls (or ovaries) at all, they'd pardon him for the federal charges as their first official act.

I'm afraid, that's not how capitalism works.

I don't normally address grammatical errors, but I like how this sentence works both with and without the comma.

[-] Eduneum@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

🤣 you are right. Without comma...

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It doesn't. No punctuation would have been fine. To separate the thoughts would require a semicolon or a period. Shatner commas are illegal

Shatner commas

Thank you for teaching me this term

Because under neoliberal capitalism there are inherent contradictions. How it delivers "freedom" is via capital.

So there are two opposing freedoms, the freedom of a person and the freedom to grow capital.

Our system chose capital over people. So the man who exploits people's healthcare as a business model resulting in tens of thousands of deaths each year is the hero. Because he grew so much capital.

It's cruel how unfortunately real is this.
