    Reported by a worker at McD. Wtf, they’re the group that would benefit the most from a change in the healthcare system. Idiot.

    Or, and hear me out here, we can view this with a little sympathy: there’s $60k in rewards for anyone who turned this guy in, and the person who did it makes peanuts at McDonalds.

    Now, I don’t know if I would do it, but I can completely and utterly sympathize why someone who makes poverty wages would turn class traitor for what almost certainly life-changing money.

          With the review bombing and public hatred of that McDonald’s location? Fired is more like it.

              The corporation? Definitely not. But review bombing and boycotting will hurt the profits of that franchised location, and its owner certainly will.

                  When you’re an out of towner looking for the nearest place to go and get coffee or use a public bathroom, reviews matter.

                  I have never looked at the reviews for a fast food franchise. They’re all much the same, which is kinda the point.

            I meant more like, that’s the best accolade you may get as someone working for McDonald’s. But yes, McDonald’s absolutely has a reason to support the status quo in terms of corporate rule.

      that person might get 60k…

      maybe because of this circle jerk, regime will pay out to prove a point.

      but there is a lesson in this discussion folks.

          To be charitable, other people can have different views on ethics.

          For example, if harming a CEO who helped raise claim denial rates from less than 10% to 30% results in revised policies and less overall suffering, that could be morally justifable to some.

          Vigilante justice indicates a failure in the system to administer justice.

          It is absolutely in society’s interest that someone who has caused deaths and misery of thousands is punished.

              Luigi wasn’t really in a position where he could stop the CEO through any lesser use of force.

                And that’s because it’s not his job to do so. Not every problem needs to be solvable by any given individual.

                If he really was that passionate about the problem, he should’ve run for office to get into a position to solve the problem, or at least joined forces with some group that pushes for causes he believes in. Or started a business to compete with those businesses he disagrees with. Those would all be proactive steps he could take. Killing a CEO doesn’t solve anything, another will take his place, and surely he knew that.

                  Running for office wouldn’t have stopped the CEO from continuing to murder thousands, since the CEO and his shareholders literally spend billions making sure people who would stop them don’t get elected.

                  Killing a CEO doesn’t solve anything, another will take his place, and surely he knew that.

                  Yeah, this is why adventurism doesn’t really work. The guy’s actions were ineffective at systemic change, however just they may have been.

          We have a president who says that he could do exactly what The Adjuster did, and get away with it. If the president can do it, why not this guy?

          The comment I replied to wasn’t cheering on a murderer.

          The comment I replied to was trying to convey that an impoverished person may feel like the reward money for turning in a murderer outweighs any moralizing over the murder itself. That the dollar figure could be literally life changing and they may feel they have no option but to turn them in.

          And people downvoted that. Hence my shaken faith in people’s ability to empathize.

      Yea. The shooter and ceo were closer in class than the shooter and working class who supposedly called in so wouldn’t necessarily be considered class traitor

        Some people think anyone whose parents actually owned a house are “the elites”.

        No. The CEO earned more in a year than even someone with a six figure salary would earn in a lifetime.
