      Well, did killing this one healthcare CEO dismantle the entire US healthcare scamdustry or did it just feel vindictive and traumatise his children? If it didn’t, it’s not really a good trolley problem. Don’t get me wrong, I wish destroying this harmful system was that simple - I wish it could be done without killing anyone - but it seems even killing people doesn’t have made much of a fent in it.

        did killing this one healthcare CEO dismantle the entire US healthcare scamdustry

        For some added context, while it didn’t dismantle the entire US healthcare scamindustry, I recall it causing insurance approvals to significantly increase for the next few weeks (like to the level of everything was approved / no rejections).

        I don’t know if or how many lives were saved by that increase in approvals, but if I had to guess, I’d guess that more people lived than died, due to the killing of one healthcare CEO.
