“But… but… he was a person!” Yes sir, that’s how humanity works. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe this guy’s simply learned that lesson the hard way…

I hear Hitler was a person. That other guy too, what was his name...

Okay, but the guy who shot Hitler doesn't get celebrated like the guy who shot the CEO....

Ah yes… humanity…. When you vote for people who tell you they’re going to gut healthcare then murder people because your healthcare isn’t regulated.

The point is, the CEO was a person, the people that die daily from their healthcare being denied or even gun violence are just statistics. Apples and oranges comparison. The whole conversation just devolves if you don’t remember that CEOs are people and the rest of us are numbers.

I blame our friends and family. They go around caring about us (well, ideally they do) and then we get that crazy notion that we’re people too.

Ikr? Sometimes I’ve caught myself out thinking that way, then have to pull myself back and think WWED (What Would Elon Do) 🙄 🚗🚀🥴

I’d argue that a decision that can only be made for special circumstances shouldn’t be repeated. Meaning, the decision repeated would eventually kill thousands of workers and politicians.
