I think by now we can all verify there were no positive impacts from what Luigi did, so there is absolutely no benefit to funding his legal defence: it's just throwing money away to scammers and lawyers that his rich family could already afford anyways.
- There might be more Luigi, if people know they will have their lawyers funded. Then things can change.
  
  I mean if a drone can take out a firefighting plane, why not a corporate jet? You don't need 1000 Luigis. You just need need 1000 people who can follow through on a plan that will make the wealthy afraid.
  
  Go on....
  
  DC has a lot of sewers. Would be a shame if it backed up.
  Strikes that ground airplanes also have historically caused congress to cave.
  Closing car roads in favor of pedestrian only streets also make it harder for police and rich people to fuck with people. Part of being rich is security caravans. Reducing motor vehicle access makes rich people feel less safe. Consider lobbying local politicians for more walkways and removing unnecessary thru streets.
  There are a number of wealthy communites. They have infrastructure going to them. You can legally file complaints about that infrastructure. As well as other things.
  
  Things didn't change with 1 Luigi, won't change with 10, would hardly change with 100, and you'll never get 1000.
  1 Luigi could have made real change by participating in politics, instead he threw away his life and his rich boy education. The money in his backpack when he was caught alone could have completely changed people's lives instead of buying a margarita machine for the precinct.
  
  You have to have a good education to realize how fucked we are.
  I listened to a clip a minute ago on the radio of dumbass Trump and his dumbass supporters from the show he made on inauguration day, signing orders, and the one withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord stuck out to me. "Could you imagine Biden doing this?" Raucous applause. "This is going to save $1,000,000,000,000." Raucous applause.
  No, I could not imagine Biden doing it, because it's fucking idiotic. The world is burning. The air is turning to poison. Only cutting greenhouse emissions in half will provide any hope of anything resembling social stability over the next several decades and the only way to do that is to reign in the dozens of corporate poluters who are responsible for such desolation. It will save a trillion dollars for corporations, which savings they will absolutely not pass on to Trump's gullible, stupid supporters, but in fact they will use to live lifestyles marked by even more greenhouse emissions, yachts and air travel. Even the capitalists who are self aware enough to see what's coming will use their savings to build lavish prepper bunkers and hoard medical technology. When shit hits the fan, and MAGA rubes are chanting "let us in" outside the bunker while wild fires close in, maybe as they suffocate and burn to death they will realize they should have done more.
  One good looking kid with an education going into politics isn't going to overcome the power structures that have these donkeys cheering wildly for the missteps towards their own demise. You have to have the education to know that we are past that. Their kids will be dying of small pox, and they'll still be blaming their grief and anger on the woke left and diversity, equality, and inclusiveness, on immigrants and the unhoused. The oligarchs own the government and the media. Only the people at large can depose them, one by one. We have all these mass shooters looking for infamy, maybe after Luigi they will see they can get actual fame, adoration, if they choose a culpable target instead of rooms full of innocent kids.
  I think that's what Luigi's supporters are saying.
  
  I can pretty much guarantee you most of Luigi's supporters are not the most educated bunch.
  One kid with an education going into politics does a hell of a lot more than one random murder that makes the board of a random company play musical chairs for a few minutes.
- i'll bet if you knew that making these posts put your life in imminent danger, you'd stop making them.
  see how that works?
  
  Didn't work for UHC why would it work for me?
  
  Because it was a one off. It needs to be more than that.
  
  I think you'd be working your way down a list of millions and still wouldn't see any positive change.
  
  Nah, just a few hundred.
  
  I assure you the number of opportunists is more than just a few hundred. The moment you kill one of those, somebody will step into their place.
  
  Woosh
  
  Woosh
  
  okay. we've heard enough. you can shut up now.
- A ratfucking healthcare CEO whose killed far more people with his greed and indifference to human suffering was erased from this planet.
  I see that as a net postive.
  
  A ratfucking healthcare CEO that pushed a few people into debt while redistributing wealth for covering the healthcare costs of a very large majority of planholders.
  Who was immediately replaced by another healthcare CEO doing the exact same thing.
  I see that as nothing but 1 more corpse on the pile.
  
  "pushed a few ppl into debt"
  You have got to be kidding me...
  
  Nobody has any real numbers. Some people say UHC denies 30% of claims, KFF say UHC denied 17% of costs, NyTimes say they denied more private care than medicaid plans, and the exact costs of the denied claims per person is completely unknown.
  UHC is worse than the competition, but they're still worse today and nothing is improving.
- Are you blind?
  
  My gods! This was the one! The comment that made me change my mind. What a thorough and well thought out argument citing all of those sources.

  Fun little double standard you have there.
  
  You want me to go out and prove something isn't real? You clearly haven't thought this through at all.
  Look! There it isn't, it's not existing right over not there!
