    Death penalty for a murder of a single persons seems harsh. I’m anti death penalty 100% of the time, though.

      They want the death penalty in case other Americans get ideas. They want to make an example out of him.

      ah I see you’re still using “person” as a measurement unit instead of the more modern “net worth”

      This particular murder is a challenge to the rule of law as a basic principle in a way that, for example, multiple murders by a serial killer are not. The serial killer does more direct harm, but IMO this murder requires more forceful repudiation by society.

            Do you use web or a mobile app? Voyager, thunder, and boost have this as a feature, and apparently there’s a Firefox extension that can do it also

          …huh. I read that as giving the viewpoint of this administration, not as presenting a more fundamental (to them) truth.

          I suspect you’ve got the more accurate read; thanks for posting this!

          Nice, now I kind of wish you could see what other people have tagged users as. Except for the rampant abuse that would proliferate from that capability.

        What do we do about the murder of thousands by using AI to refuse medical care, and instead funnel the profits to shareholder portfolios?

        If that is your take then you are a monster. A sociopathic monster.

        The CEO in question was directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people through sheer greed.

        You are not a human being.

        I guess it makes sense. A principled murder needs harsher punishment than even a serial killer… That’s the theory anyway.
