MODERATORS
If you're going to quote that you should quote the rest of it:
They're not begging for sympathy, they go on to talk about the effect this act will have on the health insurance companies, which is what we all want to see.
They'll beef up their security and continue with their horrific practices. No greedy bastards will change anything that affects their bottom line.
I think you're right. I was imagining what a meeting of executives would be like in the wake of this, and I can just see them continuing to follow the almighty dollar, because that is their one true incentive that all others lead to. Anybody who proposed taking a hit to revenue to be more moral would be fired by the board.
The rest of it doesn't change anything.
It does though.
They're used to CEOs dying. They're not used to CEOs being murdered because of the actions of their companies.
