Patreon-exclusive Fireside Chat podcast about the case of Luigi Mangione, accused of assassinating a healthcare CEO. In this episode we discuss the US healthcare system, about Mangione and his past, about media and public reactions to the killing, and about historical parallels and differences with past assassinations.
Today, March 19, Luigi Mangione was scheduled to have his first court hearing on federal death penalty charges, accused of assassinating healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, so we thought this would be a good opportunity to talk about the case.
