    Three references detected to “fortune”: wheel of, tellers, and cookies. All headed over a cliff. I prefer to interpret it as alluding to the tragic loss of a positive-sum fortune for society as a whole by those in power manipulating the system to personally profit off of workers. ️🙎

    I’d actually watch Wheel of Fortune if they mic’d the wheel.

    Edit: Just realized the transcript explains this all already so I’m dumb.
