Top internet sleuths say they won't help find the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer

There will just be a new CEO who will continue those same practices. How can this possibly be misconstrued as something impactful upon the broken system

This killing can signify that people are starting to be more willing to change the system through tactical violence. And:

(a) If more CEOs are targeted, it will modify their behaviour, and make them more likely to tone down their ruthlessness.

(b) There is already a lot of news coverage and attention on the horrific nature of U.S. healthcare. If some policies change more rapidly, then I think some might consider this killing an effective action in saving hundreds of lives.

Yes, and a few days after the assassination, another competing healthcare company dropped a controversial rule they were going to enforce

So it kind of worked

Well at some point if all the CEOs get killed they won't find a new one to take the lead...

At least they’ll think twice about walking the streets. They can hide in their castles.
