    Just pointing out that had it been an average Joe who got assassinated and we had a clear picture of the killer’s face we wouldn’t even have heard about it on the news. Now they want everyone to look for him.

      To be fair, a c level assassination is news, whereas a murder in a big city is not. It’s not about the chicken, but the seasoning and presentation, young chef.

        You state this as a norm, to me your perspective of this as an acceptable norm is the problem itself.

        My thoughts :
        Your post states authoritatively what the norm is. No challenge here, that is the norm. True.

        but…
        Why is that the accepted norm?

        and…
        What causes that to be the accepted norm?

        so…
        So if net worth affects the public services you receive in the form of police assistance, bounties, etc… isn’t that an indicator of a larger problem?

        so…
        Who benefits from the stated norms?

        and…
        Should we change those “norms”, kinda seems unfair huh?

        Yes.


        Not perfectly written, but I think you get my jist. I’m so tired of people stating the norms of society as if they are immutable truths and not symptoms of a broken system.

        Have a nice day.
