    he’s very much alive and not “sacrificed”

    The CEO is the one that got sacrificed to the gods with the hope that the system changes…

    I’m totally on your side when it’s about fixing your broken and also very expensive healthcare system… But I dunno… Maybe electing a president that supports your interests (instead of one that does the opposite) or going on the streets with Millions of others or a nation wide strike would actually change it…

    And what exactly is the movement? Getting rid of more CEOs? I don’t see any movement here. Maybe, I’m biased… I’d love to see a movement that actually leads to change, but I don’t see it.

    Well, I guess, I have to deal with a few more weaks of memes about this…

    Best regards The troll

      didn’t we try the whole elect a president that would bring the change, like twice now?

      In fact, looking towards history, the only time we really had change for the better is when the working poor threatened the super rich

        yeah… some of you tried it.

        But an actual majority voting for the Orange one instead of progress after progress after progress can also be interpreted like a part of your population wants a much worse healthcare system and/or is very stupid.

          and/or is very stupid

          Yes. We have a rigged system with propaganda and a poor educational system by design. This is very powerful and possibly unstoppable at this point. The main reasons our stupid populous vote against their own interests. They are stupid, but it’s not necessarily their fault. Again, propaganda and education.

          This is not an easy problem to solve. Mercing CEOs might be the only option… The whole voting and playing by “the rules” isn’t working. The rich are getting richer, poor poorer, and corruption is becoming even more acceptable and in our faces.

            If 50% of the population stop working for weeks, this should be a lot more effective than “mercing” anyone.

      Moving the goalposts much? No one in support of Luigi would dream of considering that CEO mass murderer as “one of their people” as you put it. And since you know that, you absolutely did not mean that mass murdering shithead.
