…and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald’s, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.

No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you’re specifically referencing the snitching part).

  • It’s made business execs afraid.
  • It’s shown the working class how to have solidarity.
  • It’s been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
  • It’s given us a martyr.
  • It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

And I’m sure there’s more.

I’m not a big Astarion fan, but I can see the appeal.

I never even thought of that. No more Columbines? Just more Luigis?

Based universe!

I wouldn’t go so far to say that there won’t be any more school shootings. A school shootings is comparatively easy. Their locations are static, publicly available. There are many potential victims, and so on.

With that said, some may opt for the slightly higher difficulty of biz execs for the reasons I’ve listed.

I think that user above you was implying more should be done about the McDonalds, which is pretty ironic given the context.

Is his martydom trending on “common” social media like TikTok, YT, Facebook, Discord, big podcasts and such?

Lemmy (and even Twitter and Reddit) are rather niche and not necessarily reaching the larger public, aka this pool of working class folk.

It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I’ve seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro’s videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the “violent left”. When Ben Shapiro’s viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.

I can’t speak for all of them, but I can explain the vibes:

  • TikTok/Insta - 100% worshipping Luigi en masse
  • Discord - None of the ones I’m in, though I mostly stick to small friend groups I know IRL. I’d be shocked if there aren’t servers praising him as a hero

I can’t speak to the rest.

Maybe the “let me fuck shit up and shoot up my high-school” crowd doesn’t really care about being remembered as heroes but what would I know.

I guess Advent Health dropped their proposed anesthesia policy out of the goodness of their heart?

For now. However I’m sure they have plans in the works for all sorts of similar heinous and hateful policy changes.

The parasites are scrapping their data online because they know plebs don’t know how to check SEC filings on https://www.sec.gov/search-filings

That could maybe contain names of the people running these death machines.

Coincidentally, unrelated, happenstance fact - you can gain the ability to attend shareholder meetings by purchasing a certain amount of shares - each company sets their own level.

Y’know, exactly like the meeting Brian was on his way to that December morning.…

ohh wow, look at that!

i guess they really do think peasants don’t know how to use common sense and online search, i am sure Securitas and G4S clowns charging a fat fee for this advise too. Classic capitalism strikes again.

does it actually make these parasites any safer?

no way to tell really…

Well the employee was also fired and their life ruined, and it’s still early.

Being fired? For being a distraction from the work that McDonald’s wants to occur without people associating it with class warfare.

Honestly it’s probably the manager reacting poorly and once it goes further up the ladder and there is more and more backlash they will turn back on these decisions same as the reward money if they are smart though I think the 10,000 is officially off the table since that was a private 3rd party and the 50,000 will likely be a fraction of that at best.

Any kind of change from norm gets blamed on whoever they think caused it. And it hits wide and usually the innocent just as much.

I can’t find anything that mentions they were fired. Do you have a source for that? That would be super messed up.

Well I have it from the statements of the woman herself and the somewhat open gossip now of central PA.

I could try to pull sources but I’m not sure what I could provide that would be considered respectable enough for this community.

I think she was just put on leave but if you are a part time worker on leave without pay it sure looks like being fired even if on a technicality they can say she wasn’t fired yet. I dunno she’s acting like she was fucked over and I believe it when she thought she would get a bunch of money and be a hero.

I don’t have sources that talk about people shitting on cars at the McDonald’s but that’s happening too.

I’ve already heard a bunch of stories of insurance companies approving procedures they denied the day before.

This probably saved a bunch of lives.
