What is your opinion of the health insurance CEO being killed?
I'm curious to see what WSO's opinion is on all of this. Tried to use neutral language in the title.
I suspect most here think it was wrong. I think WSO consists of a decent number of people who would have worked that CEO position (if they had a healthcare/insurance background), and/or economics students who just see the CEO dude as a rational agent doing his job & trying to not get fired.
If you think murdering this guy is good because you don't like his business, then you need to seek help ASAP.
Murder is not a good thing but I do not have much empathy for people who intentionally make life difficult for consumers. I do not think Mangione is a hero or a villain. I think something got messed up in his mind and he could no longer differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. He could have become delusional. How do you go from valedictorian of your high school and a graduate of Upenn to a premeditated murderer who could end up spending the rest of his life in prison
The part I don't understand is how he got caught. If you're that smart how can you not avoid getting caught?

The dude had no experience in committing crimes and did not know how to evade getting caught. Alternatively, he wanted to get caught. Either way, to throw away your life is not a rational decision.
my empathy is not covered by brian thompson's policy
pfp checks out.
I don’t have a hatred of all CEOs or anything but you can’t take a job like that and then be surprised when people hate you for it. I get people here are very career ambitious but when you have that much influence over people’s lives you become something much bigger than “someone just doing their job.”
And what do you do in your job? Some would argue that investment banking contributes to inequality, reduces democratic control over economic life, encourages instability, and prioritizes profits over human and societal needs. Perhaps investment bankers should worry, too?
I would agree with them and if they were to shit on my job in front of me I would take it lol. I don’t plan on staying in investment banking very long but am just using this as a short career boost.
