@Some_Emo_Chick A dark-themed Twitter post by user "JerseyDonut" recounts a satirical story. It describes a minimum wage worker who reports a CEO's murder, expecting a reward, but is then disregarded by authorities. The post concludes by calling the situation an unscriptable level of social commentary.

β€œDude ices a CEO, becomes living symbol of the lower class struggles against corporate greed.

Min wage worker at large corporate franchise rats him out in hopes of a promised financial reward from authorities.

Authorities arrest killer and tell the min wage worker to fuck right off without providing agreed upon compensation.

You can't script this level of social commentary. This shit is life writing its own Oscar winner.”

@Some_Emo_Chick "I did everything that was asked of me, I did what I was told, and I got nothing?!"

@Some_Emo_Chick Don't forget to add that dude who iced CEO comes from wealthy family.

He's not going to get his reward? I wished I were shocked by this. But it is par for the course. Of course if they did give it to him, they would probably tax it to hell and back so he wouldn't have enough to buy a meal from where he works.

@Some_Emo_Chick I've been thinking about this quite a bit.

Hypothesis: a social system truly breaks not when it only serves a minority of the people, but when it actually serves nobody. Perhaps this is just splitting hairs on definition. But I think about how $60,000 is such a pittance for the CEOs who, like, care about being singled out for quality crosshairs time. How a lot of them could basically pocket-change that, they wouldn't even have to crowd-fund it. But how they won't because the rules don't say this person deserves paid. And so the rules are serving the best interest of neither the 99% nor the 1%.

Monarchy failed the people of France, but it also failed the monarchs ultimately. They didn't get to win either. And the man who invented the guillotine was killed by the guillotine.

@mark @Some_Emo_Chick I think about THIS a lot, because I used to work for very wealthy people, and I cannot begin to frame how miserable and even scared a lot of them were. They might not be getting the thickly-smeared end of the stick, but the whole stick seems to be coated in a nonzero layer of shit.

People with more wealth than ten lifetime careers generate, choosing to chase *more money* rather than anything else with their lives, are already sick. Society not only permits but hails this?

@Some_Emo_Chick The guy *might* not get the reward: it's only given after a conviction, not an arrest. Which makes sense. Offering a reward for an arrest creates the perverse incentive to turn in any random person.

@adamrice @Some_Emo_Chick yeah do we have any reason at this point to think the mcd employee won't get the 60k, assuming there's a conviction, which seems highly likely. Genuinely curious.

@Some_Emo_Chick just wait till the flash mob of cosplayers starts showing up at shareholder meetings. It’d be near impossible to tell who did something for certain if one of those went rouge.
