I hadn’t thought of it until you mentioned all the public shootings, but a lot of mass shooters just want to be remembered for something. Turning the New York shooter into a folk hero is going to inspire a lot of armed crazy people.
Makes me wonder if now we get reasonable gun control.
CEO shootings are now just a fact of life in America…
Don’t do that, don’t give me hope
Nuthin we can do about it, I guess. 🤷
Maybe if the mass shooters realize that killing innocent people isn’t gonna make the people like them, they’d change their targets?
Maybe… 👀
If I recall, gun control laws in nazi Germany were loosened, but only for nazi party members.
I’m sure they’ll craft something that keeps them out of the hands of everyone but the SA and SS.
I’m thinking 2 more CEOs and we get the Republicans calling for gun control.
I’d give it 3, just to be contrarian.
A Baker’s Dozen even
No, America never will. The NRA lobby is too strong. You’d have to completely outlaw lobbyists first.
Exactly. Republicans will just push for more funding for police officers.
Nah, that’s silly, clearly the situation didn’t have enough guns. /s
I think the meme needs to be changed with the guy with the lever also being strapped to the bottom track.
“i didn’t consider the trolley”
Isn’t the trolley problem meant to be a dilemma? Not seeing a dilemma in this version.
In this case it’s a metaphor

Do you imagine that everyone posting things like this just hasn’t thought it through, or that they believe killing that CEO will save any specific person?
If so, I think you’ve misunderstood something quite fundamental. The overwhelming majority who are celebrating this assassination are doing so because they hate that CEO and everything he stood for.
You don’t get to brush them off as idiots for failing to realise something you consider obvious when you’re the one who seems to be missing the point.
Beside which, if you interpret this business with the other insurer suddenly cancelling their plans to limit what they’ll pay for anesthesia as suddenly fear of reprisal then this assassination will absolutely save lives in the long run, and save others from life-long financial ruin
Thank you for actually having a point that relates to the trolley problem.
Let me guess… you work for a corporation with a health plan that meets you and your family’s medical needs?
Killing an executive does not change this. It’s asinine to think that it does and celebrate murder.
If you are looking at this as a philosophical victory, you do not know a fucking thing about the ‘trolley problems’. Or philosophy.
I 100% get the anger at insurance companies. This is a fucking stupid take.
How them boots taste?
The meme very clearly says “corporate class”, meaning this will take many CEOs to ultimately save people.
You fooling yourself if you don’t think we’ll go down either way, we just gotta force the corporate class down with us
No dilemma here, but good meme I guess?
Well the people are still gonna get run over, but that might change if enough of the corporate class get run over too. Worth a shot

it needs like a whooe group of people pushing the lever…

clear gap in the tracks with “sound waves” like ‘click’ indicating they’re all switching to the side track collectively.
