I’m wondering about the Luigi line.
Post Trump, it seems as if there is no justice for the rich besides vigilante justice.
Would any of the below qualify for a Luigi? Where is the line? I find the cognitive ethical dissonance of Luigi disconcerting.
The following list is very dark, and super cynical - I apologize in advance.
A pharma company has found a cure for cancer, but suppresses it to make money on treatment. Causing innumerable deaths.
A pharma company has found a cure for Alzheimer’s - but suppresses it. Causing suffering.
A pharma company knows a drug treatment is ineffective for some major illness, but pushes it anyway, suppressing other research. Causing suffering.
A pharma company pushes a drug known to cause massive dependence, with insignificant benefit. Causing suffering.
A car company knows an airbag is defective, and does not fix it. Causing thousands of deaths.
An airplane manufacturer creates an airplane with faulty construction, knowingly, and thousands die.
A manufacturing company pollutes a town’s water, causing birth defects, general sickness.
This list could go on forever of course. But where is the line post Luigi, post Trump non-trial. What makes one CEO at risk, and another not?
All of those people suck and I wouldn’t be mad if they were shot dead
It gets trickier when there’s multiple viable options. Like “save a child or save two adults” kind of stuff. Most of what people are mad about isn’t that. It’s just the rich trying to make even more money.
