      We’re still waiting for free healthcare to come out of Brian Thompson’s grave and start sliding along just above the ground.

      The crime was very well planned, but a random CEO wasn’t actually a meaningful target. The Charlie Kirk thing was basically the opposite.

          I wonder how many it would take though? It’sa shame that we’ll probably never find out because even if they enact laws or taxes on wealth, I e little chance of the wealthy letting it apply to them.
