As an aside I would say capitalism failed them. Society has existed and failed and evolved since people realized it was beneficial to work together. But that basic byline has always existed with those exploiting others. Roman society failed, feudal society failed, the first version of the US failed as a society, so on and so forth. In this lens, the version of society that failed is capitalism, or probably in this case late-stage capitalism
Comment on Uno what really happened

It’s like a textbook example of justice being served one way or the other, if not in orderly respectable fashion then in an abrupt violent fashion.

I’d say society did pretty well by the CEO. It was unrelenting greed and placing profits over people that got him to his end. That’s on him.

I think they mean that society, in its money worship, failed the guy killed. He obviously valued money over lives and he learned that somewhere.

I think so too, but I disagree. No one is forced into a CEO lifestyle or profit-above-all mindset. I feel like that’s pretty much on him. Echoing a comment I saw elsewhere - my empathy is out of network for this guy.
