To be fair, a c level assassination is news, whereas a murder in a big city is not.

You state this as a norm, to me your perspective of this as an acceptable norm is the problem itself.

My thoughts :
Your post states authoritatively what the norm is. No challenge here, that is the norm. True.

but…
Why is that the accepted norm?

and…
What causes that to be the accepted norm?

so…
So if net worth affects the public services you receive in the form of police assistance, bounties, etc… isn’t that an indicator of a larger problem?

so…
Who benefits from the stated norms?

and…
Should we change those “norms”, kinda seems unfair huh?

Yes.

Not perfectly written, but I think you get my jist. I’m so tired of people stating the norms of society as if they are immutable truths and not symptoms of a broken system.

Have a nice day.
