Not a joke, but a critique of CEO assassination as a tool for reform. My central point is that this is a political and legal dispute. Agreement amongst voters is the bottleneck, not some CEO

I said joking but I meant exaggerating. At least I hope it's hyperbole. Even contemplation of killing your neighbor because they don't support your particular views about the solution to a complex issue is batshit insane.
And I'm saying it is less insane than shooting CEOs and expecting change.
It's actually more insane, but I guess one could argue either way which action is more likely to result in a change.
