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.
These execs are scared their own children will ask them to explain what they do for a living. Doubt they raise their kids as much as they pay someone else to do it. That being said, Elmo's kids are stuck on a compound. That's definitely going to mess them up.
They're already teenagers. The damage has been done, but hopefully this act will help them decide not to follow in their father's footsteps.
Money doesn't fix trauma, and childhood trauma is rarely fully healed. The kids did nothing wrong, and you should feel bad for them.
Like I said, my feelings are focused on those he harmed. Eat the fucking rich.
I feel bad they had a monster for a father.
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.
Some of those who had claims denied are children.
It isn't impossible to feel bad for both?
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.
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.
He and this wife didn't choose their parents either (and any other contributing factors in their environment that made them who they are). Growing older doesn't change the causes of the development of their brain, the cause of the choices you make, and if we could have saved them from becoming the person they did then we should.
With even the most evil people we can be sad they died but also happy they can't do more evil. Uday Hussein, son of Saddam Hussein did some evil stuff and and if we could have prevented him from becoming the person he did when at age 8 or at age 18 then it's the same.
I didn't dispute that?
Well I did not know so until this moment for me it was theoretical. It does not matter but now I know.
Don't forget the children whose siblings died due to insurance fuckery, and the parents who've lost children.
