    The corrupt evil people can reproduce faster than a few planned assassinations can cull, you also don’t get any say in who the next targets are, and even if the practices stop we have to implement actual legal policy changes to make them stop forever or they will return as soon as somebody figures out there is profit to be made.

      Incorrect. The number of people willing to risk their lives for greed would naturally reduce as the risk grows. The unpredictability of targets would increase the risk factor for them.

      And laws can be bought, as we’ve already seen. Making them fear for their lives will buy results like no laws ever could. That’s exactly how we got most of our labor protections.

        The people running UHC clearly don’t think so.

          You’re right. One dead CEO can be written off as a fluke.

            It might as well have been the guy next to them and they still don’t care. 10 more won’t have any impact. 100 more and you’ll just invoke a strong resistance and crackdown.

            You could stop an infinite number of bad things happening to bad people by just promoting progressive political reform, instead.

              I see you haven’t read much history.

                Project much?

                Let me compile a list of times a sequence of fringe nonpolitical group’s assassinations resulted in progressive reform out of all the many many countries with universal healthcare:

                  You have no clue how violent the global labor movements were. Every one of those rights are written in blood.
