    I always imagined the Business Plot going down like…

    this war hero who gave his entire life towards serving his country walks into congress exclaiming “by god you all need to hear this, these unscrupulous businessmen came to me trying to get me to pull a coup…”

    congress goes - …slow blink… no need for a coup, they already own us. the war hero leaving with his entire reality shattered as he knows noone (no common man, atleast) would believe his story, especially not after the story is spun by the media conglomerates that were a part of the plot

    then in a followup phonecall congress exclaims… “godfuckingdamnit JPM, do you really have to pull this prank on every other innocent (in the conscious sense) war hero we got? doesn’t that ever get old?”
