This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    The laws are designed to allow murdering the poor. That doesn’t make it “not murder”. When you deny live-saving treatment out of profit considerations, that is both premeditated and killing out of greed. There’s two murder criteria right there.

    If the laws are designed for the elite, it is very stupid to argue morality based on what’s “lawful” and what is illegal.
