The audience at NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” cheered upon
hearing the name of Luigi Mangione, the man who is charged
with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New
York City earlier this month.
It happened when “Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost began
to talk about Mangione being transported back to New York
City by authorities after he was captured in Pennsylvania.
Jost barely managed to mention Mangione’s name before the
audience cheered and he stopped mid-joke to acknowledge
the elation in the room.
. . .
NOT unexpected.
Republicans like to view this as anti-capitalist
sentiment, neo-Marxism.
But that's not QUITE true, it's too simplicit. There
are GOOD corps/CEOs and then there are HORRIBLE ones
who cause vast suffering.
Medical & related costs have crept up SO high now
that people are in despair. Insurance corps now
TRY to cheat you - keep you from getting what you
paid for. That's horrible behavior - and somewhere
you just CAN'T have it. If "Hair Club" screws you
then so what - but if you can't get a heart attack
dealt with properly .....
"Profit" is important, but the word does not excuse
EVERYTHING. Mangione thus became an instant folk hero
in the Jessie James mold.
