Article America is fucked NSFW

A CEO, who bankrupted and murdered thousands for profit, is killed and terrorism charges are put on the assassin.

A working woman is burned alive, and the police walk by.

In capitalism, the value of your life depends entirely on how much money you make. The USA is such a fucked up country

Which makes this so much worse. Mangione should be having a right to a fair trial and should be presumed innocent until proven guilty, but he's always surrounded by police with assault rifles, the judge has lots of shares in the Healthcare industry and is married to a former Pfizer executive, and Mayor Eric Adams push statements like "I wanted to look him in the eye and state "You carried this terrorist act in my city""

All the while, a man who strangled a homeless man to death is acquitted, and people walk by as a working woman is burned alive

Absolutely sickening

I’m not going to defend the judge too hard, but pharma companies and health insurance are hardly friends. They’re in the same industry, but big pharma has no problem pointing at health insurance as the real problem whenever prices come up.

These companies are owned by the same investors.

And they’re all including this judge, against the people. It’s all self gain and knocking elbows with their rich friends
