I found myself today watching Wicked, distracted by the parallels of the intro: celebrating the death of someone who is seen by society as wicked. “No-one mourns the wicked.”

Perhaps the saddest natural consequence of the UHC CEO being assassinated is that health insurance CEOs will now demand double their compensation to account for the risk of assassination in their roles. The new reality is that this is a dangerous job.
