He could only become a hero, if he did what he promised. But that's out of his hands anyway.
Yeah, it probably is. It looks like he's out of the pharmaceutical company now, anyway.
--edit--
re his character: He's clearly a narcissistic fuck. However, he's also smart-- he runs circles around almost everyone, and turns complete opposition into a kind of deflated agreement in a matter of minutes. I don't believe him when he says he's a warrior for the good, and just wants to save as many people as possible. But who cares? Almost everybody, in every walk of life, spins their bullshit into a plausible narrative to try and look better than the greedy, selfish fuckers they are. And that includes everyone in this thread (myself also).
However, I DO believe almost everything he's saying about the company, about the pharmaceutical industry, about hospitals and about the big insurance companies. . . and about the disingenuity of the media. So overall, I doubt I'd like to know him, but I'm glad that I have the chance to see him discuss these issues. No matter HOW much of a dick he is, the framework he operates in is a million times worse, and him being so public does us all the service of bringing that into the limelight.
