There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying 'think of his family', etc.

Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

I don’t think empathy is a zero-sum game.

Fuck the CEO and his company’s practices. Sic semper leeches-who-profit-from-making-healthcare-worse.

But I still feel for his kids who lost their dad, and his parents who lost their son. Just like I feel bad for the families who lost people because they were denied healthcare.

Callousness toward the pain of other people isn’t a trait I want to nurture in myself, personally.
