Punishing the weapon

[supergee]

We can't get at the Malefactors of Great Wealth (that's one of the perqs of being a Malefactor of Great Wealth) so we ban TSA agents from our restaurants* and tell telemarketers to behave hermaphroditically.** At a higher level we ask actors why they appeared in some particularly awful movie. Michael Caine replies honestly: "I made it because they paid me a lot of money."

Thanx to Ta-Nehisi Coates
