    Americans have been trained to wish on the CEO the negative things that those CEOs have caused.

    Game CEO cancels or ruins an anticipated game? Wish on to them that something they value gets canceled.

    Car company CEO makes cars more expensive? Wish upon them financial trouble.

    Social media CEO invades your privacy? Wish on them someone to track their plane wherever it flies.

    But there exists a subset of companies where death is the outcome of a bad CEO, and the end consequence of encouraging an eye for an eye is what we just saw. Perhaps if a company can decide whether you live or die, the government should play some role in it. Then at least voters will at least have a stake in the governance.
