Funny how the driving behaviour of CEOs (do anything for more money) is the same thing driving all these folks trying to make money off of this incident. Obviously the amounts of money in each case is way different but still …
The difference is that, in this case “anything” for these merch sellers is selling merchandise with words printed on them for money, whereas “anything” for healthcare insurance CEOs is denying care for people and allowing them to suffer and die.
Sure, they’re both doing it to turn a profit, but the motive and rationale is entirely different.
When all of your reasonable material desires are met (other people live here too), and your family’s material future secure, if you still need, demand and pursue mooaaaar, you have a disease.
A disease our toxic culture nurtures. A socially destructive disease.
