Cant really blame one person. He/she probably got brainwashed by mainstream media propaganda that frames the CEO as some sort of "good person".

Also maybe they got a reward

Still might not cover healthcare either.

I think I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.

Should people that still work at Twitter get a pass for the destruction it’s doing because there are lower level employees that need a paycheck to survive? How about employees at Google that indirectly enable Google to amass data at such a large scale it becomes impossible to have any privacy?

I understand the need to survive. Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in? Is 50k worth the potential long term gain for society if the rich become fearful?

Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should share the blame for the negativity their contributions bring. Where that line is, I’m not sure.

This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check. “Here’s enough money for a small trailer to live in. Have fun.”

I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.

That's a pretty privileged position to take. "Hey you, poor person, you should die so I have the opportunity to benefit from the system changing." Is that any different from what CEO was doing?

Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in?

Yes, $50k.

I'm not trying to justify it. I'm just pointing out that a year and a half salary is a pretty strong incentive. That is the opportunity to quit your job and not worry about money for a couple of months while you look for a better job. Whether you work at McDicks or Xitter, I understand the appeal of that. And I think a lot of people at least consider that.

I mean, yeah. That's the whole point. But I still don't blame the individuals that are also victims of the system.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t disagree with anything you said. It is a privileged position to take, and I’m not denying that. This is the real life trolly problem.

ehh more like a car.. it will be a used car if they have to pay taxes on it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are they actually going to pay that out?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They usually do, it's pennies to the government. Notice however, it's information leading to the arrest AND conviction. They're not getting paid anytime soon, if at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They don't pay out unless you call crime stoppers. If they called 911 they don't pay out.

Yes we can.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Oh no, we can blame them. Fucking rat.

I don't think they should be punished, though. I think we should save that energy for the CEO's.

iCe ShiT broKeN is actually advertising for them. Pretending that their diseased sugar is valuable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What if a worker didn't dob them in, and they said they did in order to hide the real way they found them.

The NSA ain't giving up their secrets that easily.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Good point, we know they aren't above that kind of psy-op shit and a fellow wage slave snitching on the shooter sends the right message to other aspiring action takers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

what if the shooter wanted to do a nice thing for an underpaid worker and get them the reward for getting him caught?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I guess I'm not considered part of a country.

Luigi wandered into a Mall of all places to get food. He was never going to escape with that sort of planning. Maybe he should have used some of that $10,000.00 Cash to buy some travel snacks before he killed a high profile individual and fled? Camping supplies, even.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

He could have shaved those thick ass eyebrows too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

NUKE THAT MAC

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Snitches get McStitches?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the shooter got caught by a snitch in a mcdonalds.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Snitched for a $60,000 reward that they're not gonna get

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Are those rewards taxed? because if they are, they're really just getting like 3,400
