Ha, that's the most humany shit I've ever heard. "Sir! The people are revolting over shit conditions and lackluster wages!"
"What the fuck is wrong with these greedy, self absorbed, entitled savages??? Only I deserve to be making money around here. I know! Have some people walk around in costumes! That'll ~~distract~~ cheer everyone up!"
