The current news has me thinking that, while the death of any human is not something I actively relish, most people feel a certain satisfaction, relief or, at least, less sad when someone like Osama Bin Laden dies, because they were responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people.
Which got me wondering, have studies been done estimating how many legitimate insurance cases are rejected, delayed or otherwise mishandled, and how many of those result in deaths? I guess other industries are also responsible for some pretty measurable risk factors (e.g. air pollution). It would interesting to see some rough numbers of how many deaths the CEOs who choose to continue running these companies in harmful ways account for. Obviously, they are only indirectly responsible, but the same could be said about Bin Laden, he didn’t fly the planes himself, he delegated.

So where the guards at Auschwitz, they had families to support, acted lawfully etc.
Is everyone equally responsible though? CEOs would have intimate knowledge of their business model, and power to change it. Otherwise they aren’t doing their job.
The CEO hate around here is childish. If the CEO doesn’t do what the board of directors wants, he’s fired. And the investors can fire the board. And next I’ll explain how golden parachutes actually work.
OTOH, I have zero problems with targeting healthcare CEOs. None. Zip. Zilch. NADA. They know the evil shit they signed up for.
If the CEO doesn’t like hurting vulnerable people they can find another job. They don’t have to do it.
I am not following?
the Adjustor deposed a high ranking officer within the cartel structure and people are cheering.
Not that Brian the parasite was merely a “division” CEO too
I do agree they all deserve it tho sure… but we can’t openly say that in civil society.
