Americans have been trained to wish on the CEO the negative things that those CEOs have caused.

Game CEO cancels or ruins an anticipated game? Wish on to them that something they value gets canceled.

Car company CEO makes cars more expensive? Wish upon them financial trouble.

Social media CEO invades your privacy? Wish on them someone to track their plane wherever it flies.

But there exists a subset of companies where death is the outcome of a bad CEO, and the end consequence of encouraging an eye for an eye is what we just saw. Perhaps if a company can decide whether you live or die, the government should play some role in it. Then at least voters will at least have a stake in the governance.

Just 41%?

The pain felt in the US is still not high enough.

It's shocking in the sense young people are the ones least effected by our shit Healthcare system since they tend to be the most healthy, and have less interaction with it.

You'd expect the middle aged and older with chronic illnesses would be the most supportive of Luigi, but they have Stockholm syndrome from living under this shitty system their whole life. This is also reinforced by the cable news they watch telling them how tragic it was that a man with a wife and kids was murdered.

Meanwhile, young people are just laughing at memes and tiktoks of how hot and based he is.

This old voter finds it acceptable. Not a problem. It's a good start.

Since Thompson was shot, first in the back and then again as he fell to the ground, a number of social media posts from people saying they do not have sympathy for his death have gained popularity.

I bet if that was the question an even higher percent would agreed.

Some of us are perfectly capable of having many conflicting opinions on the subject.

Don't know how anyone could really boil this whole thing down to a nice boolean opinion.

59% are trust fund kids

If this trend continues, by 2073 100% of youth will completely agree with it.
