    Thinking of what happened the other day. Executives of evil corporations are surely serial murderers, so I argue it has already happened and has been happening for a long time.

    The very existence of poverty is lethal, making billionaires guilty of manslaughter through inaction at the least, because they are not using their money to improve or eliminate poverty.

      What I mean is, while I understand what you’re talking about, is the day we actually have someone convicted of a more direct murder charge get elected somewhere. We know some executives have skeletons in their closet, but until they’re convicted, everyone sees them as saints. Somehow.
