obvious bourgeoiseganda BUT I thought this was funny.

“I didn’t want anybody shooting me in the back or anything after the first day, because we really screwed it up,” Murrell told Fortune. “We had no idea that we were going to get that kind of response.”

The joke is likely a reference to Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City in 2025.

For context Five Guys has around 30,000 employees according to google. If the money was distributed equally to all of them it would mean a whopping $50 per worker.

For more context this douchebag is worth almost a half billion and makes tens of millions of dollars per year.

Of course none of the bootlicking PR fluff pieces about this magnanimous capitalist mention any of this. Fuck this guy.

Proof of concept.
