That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:
Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.
FYI they only rolled back that change in one single state. The change will still happen in other states.
Sounds like we need 49 more adjustments.
Did you expect some kind of mass uprising to happen the very next day? A hundred million people out in the streets, all armed to the teeth, hunting CEOs for sport?
In this cartoon fantasy world of yours, what does "something coming from this" look like? Was his next stop going to be the White House where he would hold Biden at gunpoint until M4A is implemented?
Honestly my only hope is.. that the lone gunman suicidal "I want to go down in a way to be remembered" kinds of shooters. Learn from this, and consider shooting a wealthy CEO instead of a school or movie theatre etc...
I in no way want more violence... but I believe it would be nice if the "we can't do anything about" violence, were more top of the power chain instead of bottom.
Realistically, if all the school shooters start going after CEOs instead (I certainly wouldn't complain if they did) you'd very quickly see gun violence go from "unsolvable" to "very solvable".
So... you're saying
Oh no no, my friend. If the wealthy being gunned down results in gun control, it won't be for them. There will be some kind of exemption for private security that will be extremely expensive to get. Those wealthy enough will be able to find ways of sourcing their own if they want one. We'd be the ones without guns in that scenario.
I think you're actually underestimating our dystopia. Private security/military already exist to the scale that the, literal, "war" aspect of a class war would make actual arms mostly irrelevant. I think at that point it's just a numbers game.
Numbers are a very large part of that particular game.
This already exists.
In New York wealthy business people pay small town sheriffs to deputize them. As deputies they now have a right to concealed carry, even in places like NYC that have very strict gun laws.
Agreed, OP’s post is what they WANT you to say— don’t help them out guys
Class wars are generational.
Yeesh friend, kinda jumped down OP's throat here, no? Seems pretty uncharitable to go from their posted meme to "this cartoonish fantasy world of yours", and then take that even further.
I mean, OP never really described any kind of "world" at all, just expressed disappointment. So I mean.
...it's kinda your cartoonish fantasy world, by definition, isn't it? Whatever thing you're imagining here? Weirdly hostile take.
Americans have been sold the "we need to defend our freedom" slogan for so long they forgot the "most powerful" army in the world is sponsored by the regular american to defend the rich against himself (the regular american) How can an uprise happend in the US if you guys gave your government all the power?
What kinda fuckass McDonald's worker calls the cops on a folk hero? This is why we will continue to be curb stomped by the boot.
Somebody who needed $60k for medical expenses.
The difference between a wanted murderer and an unsung hero depends a lot on how much, and which, media a person consumes.
I like to assume the average person is apolitical and pays only a passing glance at headlines.
A well trained, well beaten dog.
An economic Uncle Ruckus. They train us from birth to see shame in not being wealthy, it sadly works. Some of our economy's victims internalize their own dehumanization and see it as the natural order to report on their fellow inferiors to their betters.
The same people mourning BriBris loss by hilariously trying to shame everyone for not condemning his murder while conveniently ignoring all the people he murdered through policy, and whose policies murdered people yesterday, and will today, tomorrow...
economic Uncle Ruckus
The rich man provides us with meaningful work and purpose and we throw it back in his face by unionizing and wanting to take more of his money! We nasty poors must follow the rich man's example and one day we may be as cultured and decent as he is.
Praise the rich man and his benevolent ways!
All that happened? Did the CEO use scroll of resurrect or something?
No, the company used "appoint some other asshat to do the exact same shit" (or if they hasn't yet they soon will)
Someone mentioned how the first time there was a school shooter, everyone took note. And now we have school shooters. It'd be interesting if this became a thing.
Jesus christ that's...amazing.
Pennsylvania disappoints again
First, another fucking Pennsylvania McDonald's getting involved where it shouldn't. I'm done eating at McDonald's in Pennsylvania now.
But I wonder if this was intentional. Now we all get to hear what he has to say. Hopefully he turns out to be a leader.
When did a Pennsylvania McDonald's get involved before?
From context I'm assuming Pennsylvania is where Trump did his Maccas stunt?
Ohhhhh, haha okay.
This is far from over, this pot is about to boil
Is that true? I just checked the reviews for all of the McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Google Maps ^[4]^ and none of them have been review bombed recently or have any mention of the UHI shooter ^[1][2][3]^.

Thanks for the sources! I wish that news articles would actually cite how they know things — it's annoying to me that their statements regarding the reviews are essentially conjecture — I don't want to have to feel like I need to just take their word for it.
Their reputation and past reporting is supposed to back up things they state as facts (like assuming that reviews they cite are real) for practicality and brevity. Imagine having to document every bit of background research in a presentable way.
They could have included screenshots though.
And the skepticism is healthy. I do personally ‘trust’ Axios (which I read almost daily but regularly double check).
[…] for practicality […]

Well, presumably, that's their job ^[1]^. Being responsible takes effort /s.

Yep. When I actually started reading some news articles and quickly found out that I was on my own if I want to learn more or verify what I just read, really put me off that stuff.
When I actually post something informative, it seems crazy to not include the links I already have anyway. And make sure it's viewable in the wayback machine if it's something so predictably ephemeral...

Citing sources is a practice that I think is sorely lacking in public discourse currently. I appreciate all efforts to quell misinformation and disinformation.
This one has a review posted 12h ago with 800 upvotes mentioning a rat problem in the kitchen:
Good catch. Given that that it's currently still available ^[1]^, I would guess that it's likely not the case that Google is purging reviews. Imo, one review is hardly review bombing, but at least that's proof of one claim made by a news outlet ^[2]^ (It's terrible, imo, that we have to be the ones fact checking claims being made by news organizations. Doesn't that make us the journalists?).

Users left reviews for at least three McDonald's locations in or around Altoona, Pennsylvania, with dozens of people leaving one star ratings and complaining about "rats." Others more explicitly called out "snitches."
....and a cold dead CEO responsible for stealing our money and leaving us to die. You left that part out.
which accomplish nothing , unless as a reaction, people act and do something about billionaires rulling the world. one star review bomb wont cut it
which accomplish nothing
Seems to have accomplished something. What are you doing about it? Trying to stir shit up from abroad I assume. How about you fuck right off and let us deal with it.
Insurance companies behaved themselves for a few days. That's already saved lots of lives, making the whole thing balance out as a positive.
I'd be banned by the admins for suggesting how this momentum could be kept going.
This is ml. I don't think violence against the rich or jury nullification can get you a ban
Then don't stop shooting them until everything gets better.
