      Still relevant 14 years later, just like the hit show at the time where a high school chemistry teacher cooks and sells meth to pay for his cancer treatments.

          Everyone in the US who isn’t a finacial apex predator bitches about the medical system. The public murder of a medical insurance executive was a politically unifying event. Change is nearly impossible because we’re being held hostage by media, politicians, and giant corporations who profit from our current system and bitter partisanship.

          Nobody likes the system but it’s all politicized in one way another depending on your preferred media bubble’s spin method, just like anything else.

      You used to be able to get health care by stealing $1, but now you have to kill an insurance CEO.
