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
$50k of a reward. Probably over 1.5 years of salary.
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.”

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?

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.
Nah, its more that if i had a way to impact the system, id do so in a heartbeat even if it meant my death so that others could benefit. Hence, I expect the same of the people that have been through what ive been through. The customer and the employee have the privileged position because they evidently dont know that hardship or dont care. How you work at mcdonalds and dont understand that rich people are evil is beyond me, so for the employee im leaning more towards doesnt care. Which, again, due to experiancing the trauma of living in the US and not being wealthy, means that he is the definition of a class traitor and is on the level of the CEOs. He saw an opportunity to get his, fuck everyone else.
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.
Here’s enough money for a small trailer to live in
ehh more like a car.. it will be a used car if they have to pay taxes on it.
Are they actually going to pay that out?
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.
They don't pay out unless you call crime stoppers. If they called 911 they don't pay out.
It’ll takes years as well
Yes we can.
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.
You must live a very privileged life if you can afford to ignore a 50k reward. A Macces worker certainly can't.
You're falling for the lie the top 1% keep telling. No, it's not the poor person's fault to be forced into taking any chance they get to make some money. If anything, blame the CEO of McDonald's that his workers earn so little. Also, direct some of your wrath at those who now enjoy a lavish feast by keeping the money, just because the "wrong" number was dailled.
No. Just smart enough to not be baited by money they will never see.
You don't need to be a good person to have a reason not to be killed.
Being a human being is already enough in most cases. His death does not change anything
