What is not excusable is why he was told to wait. A man dies because a rent-seeking bottleneck of corruption sat between him and his doctor.

The same politicians that would say this is a tragedy in one breath will send millions to early grave in the next so long as it could line their own pockets.

We live in a world diseased by greed.

And people wonder why Luigi Mangione had such wide appeal for so many people. It's not that what he chose to do was morally right (personally I dont condone it at all), more that he represented someone trying to do something about the disease you mention.
