Comment on US logic for protecting the political and economic elite has no bounds

I have a feeling that Luigi, a working class hero, won’t be going to McDonald’s ever again lol
Some might not consider him working class.
But yeah, unless they start having McDonald’s at the commissary (which now that I think about it, is not outside the realm of possibility) he probably won’t be eating at any restaurant ever again.
He should have gone to a no extradition country. Not Pennsylvania.
Does that title really require someone to be FROM the working class? I always thought it was more about who they fought for.
Take Che Guevara, for instance — the guy was from an upper class family who could afford to send him to med school. So was Marx, whose father was lawyer with a comfortable income who could afford to have all of 9 children (though not all of them survived). And John Lennon, who wrote the song that inspired the meme, had already had an enormously successful musical career and was quite likely a multi millionaire by that point.
“millionaire” is not quite the same measure of impressive wealth that it used to be. A million dollars from 1974 is equivalent to 5.4 million today.
Heres a calculator if you want to check against your birthday www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1974?amount=10…
You are a hero, pal ❤️
Thanks, bro 🙏

Seems like lately whenever theres an awful event in the US, mcdonalds is somehow mentioned. Its like pure evil emenates from the place.
They still do have the best fries though, I have to admit.
