Man dies of starvation after benefits cut.

[Bob Schroeck]

This is true -- governments (at least republican/democratically-elected ones) are malicious mostly as an unintended consequence of hiring what D&D would call Lawful Neutral people to run their agencies -- The Law Is The Law, and good or evil doesn't matter. Commerical enterprises will be deliberately malicious -- and quite active and nimble about it -- whenever it maximizes profits, and nothing keeps them from doing so.

Not that it matters -- death caused by accidental malice is no less dead than that caused by deliberate malice.
