The public reaction is what scares them. They are entirely disconnected from the consequences their actions impose on the public and can’t imagine why their “customers” would be cheering the death of their peer. They don’t think Brian Thompson did anything wrong, maximizing shareholder value is a noble goal after all, so from their perspective the public just seems bloodthirsty.

I do enjoy how GenX doesn’t appear at all. Very appropriate.

If those were legitimate murders the body politic has ways of shutting that down.

You don’t even need to ditch the whole gun, just the barrel. People are looking for a gun but might overlook the one component ballistics needs to link the weapon to the shooter.

Before the ACA, the Democrats were calling for single payer, not quite M4A but much better than what we got. The ACA was modeled on the Republicans healthcare reform package. Since then the Democrats have been defending the signature plan of Obama even though it is literally the plan their opposition created. Of course, Republicans don’t have a plan and many people voting today don’t remember what it was like in the 00’s where insurers would just dump people when they got sick or jack their rates up so high it wouldn’t be affordable.

The weird thing is that when I first joined the workforce in the 90s insurance was actually better than it is today and less expensive.

Full agree. I do want some kind of policy for games that introduce anti-cheat both during early access and after release. Bricking a game you paid for should offer some sort of recourse.
