Guess we can indirectly measure the maximum value of a human life - turns out I could buy several with my walking around money.

    He died doing what he loved… Hurting people during the exact worst moments of their entire lives, but through layers of obfuscation so he could treat people like widgets.

    Its actually way down now. That line jump is from Thompson selling his stocks before getting his claim denied. One of the reasons people suspected it being a hired hit (which I doubt).

    As much as I’m rooting for this meme, the spike was very brief and the stock has been falling consistently over the last day 😔

    Hmm, what has the bigger effect on stock market: firing 1000s of workers or shooting a CEO?

      I don’t know if this is a plan, or like a regular order at a American drive thru.

    So assassinating CEOs is good for the stock market? Hmm.

      There’s a mission exactly like this in GTA V, you kill the LifeInvader CEO and watch the stock market go brrrrr

        I really liked that one, it was soooo fucked though (no spoilers, but let’s just say it’s a bit mind blowing). It lead to similar side missions where you got to do that to others, too.

        Their ‘work’ is among the easiest to automate.

        But, automation for thee, profits for me, says C Suite, and so it shall be.

        Plus companies generally have life insurance on all of their employees. I’m sure the policy on this guy is fairly substantial (if the claim isn’t denied, kek)

    We’ve been sacrificing underpaid workers, labourers and academics alike, to the stock market for years with such small returns. A single CEO is sacrificed and the line skyrockets.

    We’ve been targeting the wrong people.

    You know how people like to satirize the stock market by claiming it runs on blood?

    We’re living in a satire.

      It is not satire, it is usually just that the blood sacrifices are usually more obfuscated and hidden.
