When a civilian vigilante finally apprehended Brian Thompson, it was far and away the gesture through which the human race had shown the greatest degree of respect for itself in memory, recent or otherwise. Naturally, bureaucracy was and is incapable of recognizing Thompson's campaign of inhuman violence as directly that, and has only been capable of recognizing Mangione's heroic demand for justice and respect of human life as aberration of bureaucratic process, thus deserving of death (much like the rest of Thompson's victims).

Still, something that was lost in the surrounding discourse, was that Brian Thompson's only actual accomplishment was having an apathy towards human life only matched by his obsession with the accumulation of capital. All of Brian Thompson's murders were carried out by the 440,000 employees that woke up 5 (6?) days a week, however many hours a day, exchanging the limited time they have for exploring and experiencing this incredible, miraculous, mysterious gift of life they've emerged out of to enact every single *material* action that made Brian Thompson into Brian Thompson. Who are these people? Was the apprehension of Thompson a moment of critical reflection for like, any of them? Or was everyone's ready-at-hand excuse for their continued enactment of this programme of excruciatingly inhumane value extraction already sufficient?

Fun fact! I don't know what data they're using, but Zippia reports that the *overwhelming* majority of UnitedHealth Group employees are Democrats, at 75%. Wow! Weird!

Well, anyway! Have fun voting!
