Many Americans will see this as good vs evil because Thompson represented a system built on denying care for profit. The murder won't change anything - that's the real tragedy. But the cult of personality around Mangione is a mirror: it shows how broken healthcare has become when an alleged killer becomes a folk hero. The system created this rage, even if violence can't fix it.
Glad you are back. Been enjoying your older interviews that I missed before I found your channel. Followed lots of journalists investigating Epstein til I found you. Still love Julie K. Brown because she seems careful to admit what she knows & what she herself has found no evidence of. Like you, she seems to take pride in her work & her honesty & her care for the Sister Survivors comes through. So many writers & reporters having podcasts & writing books seem to take privilege with the truth are turn offs to me. Have been a J. Patterson fan for many, many years & look forward to reading your books in collaboration with him. Regards.
