Luigi Mangione and Brian Thompson were two men who did the same thing: they decided who got to live or die.

Except Luigi Mangione took out a man who helped decide that thousands upon thousands get to die for profit. Brian Thompson condemned thousands and thousands to death for a fat paycheck.

This was a person who made the active decision to reject as many claims as possible for medical assistance, claims that would have saved the lives of children, teachers, mothers, he went into work each day and actively worked to cause as many people a long, painful death as he could to add an extra 0 to his bonus.

It's always been an unspoken rule that able bodied society doesn't want to see us, doesn't want to be reminded of us, and now we're seeing an effort to eliminate all the 'soft' jobs that we use to survive in this capitalist hell, it's very transparent that the fate of disabled people under an 'ai' economy is to starve
