Something something and I'm tired of pretending it isn't, etc. The only thing I feel bad about is if he ~~has~~ had young children who couldn't understand he was a waste of skin, they have my sympathy.
Feel worse for the millions of children that are parentless due to his policy decisions. His kids will be FINE.
I would honestly go so far as to suggest that in the long term, not having this monster raise them (given they'll still have plenty of money) probably leaves them better off.
Crying from the 3rd floor of their yacht...
Don't forget the children whose siblings died due to insurance fuckery, and the parents who've lost children.
yeah alls his theoretical kids would have is millions of dollars, the best education, a lavish lifestyle, trust funds, but they would not have their asshole dad.
They aren't theoretical, he did have children.
So do many people who have their claims denied....
Some of those who had claims denied are children.
You can feel bad for his family while also not feeling bad about his death. Losing a loved one is hard regardless of how much money you have. That doesn't mean it wasn't ultimately a net positive (although I'm doubtful that UH will actually change any policies because of this)
I feel bad for his kids. They didn't choose their parents.
His wife on the other hand did choose him, so fuck her too.
It isn't impossible to feel bad for both?
It is about priorities...
What priorities are there? I'm talking about emotions, not actions.
You can feel bad for both the children of this guy that will now grow up without a father and the millions of people he harmed at the same time. I'm not even saying I feel equally as bad for his children as his victims' children (because losing a parent to a preventable death due to insurance is objectively a worse situation). All I'm saying is it's reasonable to feel sympathy for both. It's not like the kids had a choice in what their dad did.
His kids have been profiting off of the death he had a hand in. They'll be just fine in their ivory towers, whatever happens.
