I don't begrudge anyone trying to get out of poverty. This is another failure of the system. Mangione struck against that system, and a different arm of the system struck back.
If the worker had been paid reasonably, if wages had not stagnated for the last three decades, if the ruling class didn't demand infinite profit out of a finite system, neither event would've happened.
The real rat here is McDonald's, making the reward money enticing by paying too poorly.
Actually, I say "rat," but the article immediately above this one in my feed is a scientific study about how rats are in fact quite altruistic.
