"This guy left behind a wife and kids and probably had nothing to do with the decision of denying someone health care (and couldn't change it even if he wanted to)." CEO certainly has a lot to do with implementing policies that lead to denial of insurance claims at twice the industry avg. Many serial killers had families that has very little to do with how society at large views their actions and what is proportional punishment for those actions.
"Most of the people reacting this way that I've seen are hard-left politically"
How do you know most people's political affiliation?
"probably had nothing to do with the decision of denying someone health care"
Diffusion of responsibility is a thing in all large corporations, but that doesn't mean you don't understand that your OKRs to increase profits come at the expense of people's health.
I've seen disdain for him coming from all political affiliations. Dealing with health insurance is a pretty universal experience that generates a pretty uniformity of feeling.
> Had nothing to do with the decision of denying someone health care.
What? He's the CEO. If we are to be agreeable that CEOs deserve a huge paycheck since they're the "buck stops here" of the company and that they get to reap the benefits of good financial performance, then they're equally responsible for all of their companies less positive practices, and all of its consequences, including getting murdered.
Yeah lots of scumbags have families. What's your point? 'Think about the children' when the only reaction to a school shooting from the right is 'thoughts and prayers'? Maybe now that CEOs are getting killed instead they will take gun control more seriously :)
