On the surface, the Vox article about the killing of the Health Corporation CEO is a whole lot of overthinking. But what it actually is meant to do is to sow confusion. "Complicated," uh huh. It's actually very simple. Some guy came out of nowhere and executed someone who has killed many, many people solely for profit. No one should kill anyone, but how else do we get the mass murderers in suits to stop killing us. If you can suggest a non-violent way to do that, we all would like to know.
