Oh, wow. I certainly was not expecting an assassination of a CEO anytime soon, despite how chaotic things are going to get. If the executive class starts feeling like they're on the chopping block, things could get very bad for the working class, especially with Trump on the horizon. Unlike us, they have class solidarity.

Frankly, I'm surprised we got this deep into the cyberpunk dystopian future without seeing a high-profile corporate assassination like this.
