    I read a comment the other day that’s stuck with me, I can’t remember the precise wording but it was something like:

    “Every cent spent on this man’s funeral was made on the back of someone else’s”

    I didn’t have any sympathy for him until I found out he played basketball and the trombone.

    This changes everything.

    When it’s your job to profit off of human misery, don’t be surprised when you find out what human misery feels like.

      I think if he had any personal friends who thought he was a good person the media would have made time for them to speak up about it. But only other rich executives have.

        No mention of being prom king though, probably got corrupted by the homecoming crown and started changing.

    Wasn’t there a reddit post about this guy and how he was like a womanizer or something and he and his wife have been separated for years, basically saying this guy wasn’t the pillar of humanity the media was making him out to be? If there was a post, was any of that true?

    I’m not convinced we’re much different except by circumstance. Anyone trying to manage that many human interactions is only going to see numbers. I know we’d like to think we have been or would be filtered out, but I’m not convinced.

    The problem is corporate structures that create these behemoths that essentially can’t have ethical liability. Someone else will do his job now. Killing him benefits exactly nobody. Just more distraction from what we should be focusing on.
