>>5419246They’re forgetting the biggest bastard of them all, you snarl: <span class="mu-r">THE GOVERNMENT!</span>
“What about them?” Asks Mr. Fox as he fails to stifle a laugh.
Isn’t it a little shitty that <span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY</span> took over while they were torn to pieces? Won’t they… I dunno… be worried about us, or something?
“Parble, the incident merely proved what the rest of the world learned years ago:” Ms. Crane explains with a sigh, “Governments are outdated–relics of a bygone age. True power, especially nowadays, is <span class="mu-i">capital</span>... and private corporations like this one are the best-equipped to harness that power.”
“We’re unburdened by checks and balances,” Adds Mr. Wolf with glee, “borders, zey are all meaningless! Zee best zee governments can do is rattle zere sabers and impose penalties… but in zee end it is US who keep zee world turning!”
Alright, you frown, that sounds pretty darn evil to you, but-
“Then you’re shortsighted.” Declares Ms. Mantis with her usual kindness. Yea, well-
“Business is the act of selling a product. Corporations are only as ‘wicked’ as their managing staff–the ones making the big decisions.”
Well, sure, bu-
“Those decisions, Ms. Parble, will not always be so clean cut.” Concludes Mantis with a touch of haughtiness in her voice! “As a member of The Board I only hope you’ll continue to make the ‘<span class="mu-i">right</span>’ decisions… no matter how ‘<span class="mu-i">evil</span>’ they seem…”
“In short, no, Parble, the government won’t be a problem…” Grumbles Mr. Rat from his hideaway. “Provided, of course, we don’t give them a reason to be.”
“And with their local representatives utterly decimated in the wake of the incident,” Mr. Fox adds, “We stand to become very good friends with them in the coming days–police fundraisers, mayoral candidate donations… the best thing about a government official is that they never forget a favor early on…”
Alright, you huff, this is getting way too political–you just wanna know if you’re gonna get picked up off the street after this and taken into a police interrogation again!
“After this meeting you’d better not!” Replies Mr. Hare with a faint chuckle! “Our legal team is second to none, you know…”
Shiiiit, you think to yourself, does… does this mean you’re <span class="mu-i">bulletproof</span>?
“No, so please don’t go committing crimes for the Hell of it.” Lectures Ms. Crane.
Then why be a CEO then?!
