Look, one of Mr. Bechizza’s posts reference “victim blaming”, so I accepted that particular frame. But my particular views on autonomy as individuals is that we ALL share some level of responsibility. If we feel moved to petition Congress (even though I live thousands of miles from these experiments, fuck that noise), we collectively are all guilty for allowing this one particular woman to die. Along with the two individuals who die every second on this planet.
Anyway, she was close to the scene, she was a grown ass woman who made particular choices that evening. Her choices contributed to her death. The more research I do, I find her particular plight heartbreaking. I also think Uber is a shitshow of a corporation. In a jury, I however, would feel unable to convict on criminal charges without seeing her toxicology report.
As for the little “thoughts and prayers” jibe, my liberal thought aligns more with the original Bolsheviks, Kalanick should be dealt with like a Romanov. Fuck you for personal aspersions in a somewhat rational debate.
