    Baby steps.

    Yeah I’m sure there’s a new CEO now, but consider that whatever schmuck ends up in that chair next knows he’s taking over from a predecessor that was deposed for wildly unpopular policies at the helm to hold profits over people.

    Mr schmuck will definitely be sweating it when faced with similar decisions because fear of it affecting him personally, e.g. catching a bullet, is a real possibility. I guarantee you that thought has never crossed any of these CEOs minds before this happened.

    All the assassin did was force them to understand they have skin in the game.

    How badly do they want more money? How does the calculus shake out with this new variable of self preservation? Is it worth looking over your shoulder every time walking down the street?

    This is why people are arguing it’s the trolley problem
