People wondering why Luigi Mangione is a fucking folk hero at this point, shit like this is a big part of it.
The fuckers got away with it.
The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them.
They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

This is an actual photo of the orange felon’s reaction as someone was having a medical emergency in the Oval Office. Evil asshole, he should be in jail not in the White House.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"
"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

Nothing to see here but a cop trying to run down and murder someone with his police SUV because his feelings were hurt. As @gregdoucette.bsky.social would say, cops are great.

Being disabled means doing things that might take an abled person one day (or less), we have to do over several days (or weeks, or not at all).
Everything takes longer, takes up more relative energy, and takes much longer to recover from after.
