A discussion (about a discussion) about the assassination of the United Health Care executive. It ends with a point about how wealth is both more unequal than it was around the post-war boom and more conspicuous. I remember "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and it was mostly about the garish taste of celebrities. Now, we have people who are rich beyond the dreams of avarice, and they flaunt that more than ever. The death of this human being is subsumed by those feelings of outrage.
