I feel kinda bad for the woman in the photo, since is wasn't her and she had it taken long before it happened.
Buuuut fuck the lot of em.
Also found out she rated for money she won't be able to collect because she called 911. So no money for the class traitor.
Ahahah, wow, that really is capitalism at its best. That's some delicious irony and I'll bet none of the wealthy will do anything to try and get her her money either lol.
Took me a bit to realize you meant ratted instead of the past tense of "rate".
Though if they do stiff her on the money because of that technicality, I'd consider that a massive tactical blunder, maybe even strategic. Tactical because it reduces the incentive for individuals to inform because they'll realize the reward has technicalities that can be used to weasel out of paying it, on top of the public backlash directed towards the employee and everything they are known to be associated with (McDonald's). Strategic because it might just be another straw on the camel's back about how the ruling elite fuck over the working class every chance they get, even for amounts of money that would be trivial to them, despite being life changing for the informant.
My guess is that the technicalities will slide and there might be a ceremony with a novelty giant-sized check (which would simultaneously dodge the above issue while also still fucking her over because such an event would give a face to the one who called the police on a popular fugitive). Then she can be used to justify some secret police shit, if they still feel the need to justify things at that point.
No they aren't about to give a minimum wage worker 60k. Best they could do is get hire fired. Fuck that worker she gets what she deserves.
It could also filter to any McD's worker, or possibly other fast food worker. I find it sad that the story of a blue collar worker not resisting the reward bait, perhaps even not knowing the full information and internet vibe of don't tell, is now the lead rather than continuing the battle against CEOs. We really do have a short attention span for shiny things, don't we?
If I was a really deep conspiracy nut I'd even ponder if the whole thing was a plant to turn the public away from the rich. Nah...we're not that stupid, right?
They should have use AI from this kind of meme

I assumed it was a stock photo. I never hold anything against faces I see in media, especially when they’re lit this professionally, because they’re often stock photos.
