They’re scared, but they’re building a defense to continue as usual.

Yeah one guy could easily take out two people, I recommend every CEO and CFO surround themselves with 6 minimum wage workers with guns.

Good thing it’s totally impossible for any subsequent Adjusters to get a job as a security guard and inside job that shit. That’d be a really big security hole, wouldn’t it? 😉

I can imagine a movie like

  • form security company
  • become successful , hired for many rich people
  • everyone thinks you sold out
  • execute a bunch of rich assholes all at once in a coordinated manner

I'm starting to think he'd make a great President.
