This will only cause more people to side with him.We already know all that. The thing protecting billionaires is whether or not the consequences are worth it to go and take shots at them. I'm guessing they will go after his family and either charge them with just enough crime to bankrupt them, or go full Brazil and arrange some accidents.

I'm not surprised the machine elves convinced Luigi to assassinate insurance CEOs. They're tricky, mischievous little guys.
yeah "value-based care" is just the current buzzword about squeezing every dime
the public will forget as soon as it's off the front page. everyone already knew this was an option, nobody was crazy enough to actually do it and throw their life away.the public isn't going to forget that killing the elites is a viable option
Alternatively (or in addition), since we know he is suffering from chronic back pain and had internet access, he may have decided that being on the lam in the long run wasn't worth it compared with essentially martyring himself, keeping this story in the spotlight and having a chance to make his case in court in the future.I'd say it's likely he is a person with a strong moral and ethical sense and thought he was doing the right thing, but after doing so, it created a severe cognitive dissonance in him between his likely strong, Christian values that expressly forbid murder, and his sense that what he did was for the best of all the people suffering under UHC as a healthcare provider. He likely couldn't reconcile the two and it lead to him suffering severe psychological and cognitive agony, which lead to him making less than calculated moves going forward. This is not uncommon in people who commit murder that aren't psychopathic. They underestimate the psychological toll of murder, even if they believe it is absolutely justified. It's an easy way to tell the difference between the true psychopaths that murder and a normal person who does so in an extreme circumstance but is otherwise psychologically functional.
I don't think the "suicide" thing is that likely. But I do think a Jack Ruby situation seems possibly given the insane amount of attention he is getting from terminally online people that live and die off of memes and parasocial relationships.However, I worry that he's putting too much faith in the system. The schizo tin foil hat in me is extremely concerned about his prospects in prison. An extremely sympathetic perpetrator combined with the most unsympathetic "victim" you could think of is a recipe for a powder keg the powers that be would rather not deal with, especially given the immediate response from the public where 95 % of people were cheering him on. They have an extremely strong incentive to "suicide" him to prevent this from going to trial and causing even more issues for their legitimacy.
Right, this hits all the Raskolnikov buttons. No wonder the would be prison wives are activating so hardI'd say it's likely he is a person with a strong moral and ethical sense and thought he was doing the right thing, but after doing so, it created a severe cognitive dissonance in him. Between his likely strong, Christian values that expressly forbid murder, and his belief that what he did was for the best of all the people suffering under UHC as a healthcare provider there would have been an inherent and severe conflict. He likely couldn't reconcile the two and it lead to him suffering severe psychological and cognitive agony, which lead to him making less than calculated moves going forward.

"Cellular agriculture is where solar power was 20 years ago, and EV batteries were 10 years ago."Free, ethical money for anyone who's paying attention. This succinct, 5-minute article by The Telegram overviews Agronomics and the current state of cell-agriculture. (http://removepaywall.com bypasses paywalls)![]()
Important highlights: "Moore’s Law is cutting costs from exorbitant levels to something closer to “griddle parity” at lightning-speed. It is a fair bet that “cell-ag” will become the next Nasdaq darling as investors tire of the AI boom." "It is hard for a small investor to buy into this story. The start-ups are all private equity ventures. [Agronomics] is the only listed equity in the world today that offers a pure play on this technology, with a portfolio of holdings covering meat, dairy, dog food, fish, chocolate, leather and cotton."
"Much of the Western public will resist, though it is amazing what they routinely eat today. The first-movers are likely to be in the Gulf and city states with no pasture. They will be in China where water is running out and ever-rising food imports are a strategic liability." "Vested interests are starting to resist furiously but they are not fools. Cargill, Tyson, Nestle, and Brazil’s JBS are all investing in cell-ag as a hedge. “They can see the writing on the wall.”" "Lab-farming should help us meet surging world food demand as another two billion people move up the protein ladder. Ultimately it will eat into Big Ag’s $5 trillion market. We can then restore degraded lands and start reclaiming our forests. And yes, it is going to make another wave of tech investors filthy rich." --- $ANIC mkt cap of $110M as of 5/15/24 will 5x within 5 years. Unreal opportunity for retail investors.
But killing him will also martyr him and further the image of him as an ordinary guy who struck back at the evil Powers That Be. From what I see the best chance they have is to try and let him hang himself with his own words, past or present, so a divided and polarized populace can maybe drop support for him for one culture war reason or another.Alternatively (or in addition), since we know he is suffering from chronic back pain and had internet access, he may have decided that being on the lam in the long run wasn't worth it compared with essentially martyring himself, keeping this story in the spotlight and having a chance to make his case in court in the future.

Fair point. I suppose it will depend on the success of the divide & conquer strategies of the system and how impactful this event will remain in the long run generally.But killing him will also martyr him and further the image of him as an ordinary guy who struck back at the evil Powers That Be.
