That's the world we live in...
Yep, the guy was frozen in the 1980s, IIRC. That's when neoliberalism really kicked off and stuff like this started to happen.

It was reality when this aired. Skeevy business man prioritizing personal gain over societal well-being has been a part of the American fabric for decades. This specific archetype dates back at least to the 80s.
Right? I mean, there's a reason the joke worked when it aired the first time lol

It’s actively happening. These asshole will do anything to steal money
