    There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying ‘think of his family’, etc.

    Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

      I don’t think empathy is a zero-sum game.

      Fuck the CEO and his company’s practices. Sic semper leeches-who-profit-from-making-healthcare-worse.

      But I still feel for his kids who lost their dad, and his parents who lost their son. Just like I feel bad for the families who lost people because they were denied healthcare.

      Callousness toward the pain of other people isn’t a trait I want to nurture in myself, personally.
