if this was like, 30 years ago when health care costs, inflation and jobs were ticking along at a different pace, I'm sure the public would be more outraged.

but these days, people are so squeezed and the health care premiums so out of control, that it's not surprising that the guy was a lightning rod. people are fucking pissed and seeing some ultra-rich billionaire get whacked is cathartic.

look what happened when the submarine imploded with the billionaires on, people loved that too. not to say it's right or anything, but it's a litmus test of sorts
