Article titled "Bizarre reason why McDonald's worker might not receive $60,000 reward for identifying Luigi Mangione" and a comment reading "a Byzantine system of arbitrary rules designed to keep people from successfully claiming what was promised to them????"

And this is exactly why we see these sovcit crazies...

They see this sort of BS and then believe the entire world is built around secret codes and BS legal mumbo-jumbo. If you manage to crack the combination, you are set - and the reason this filthy scab didn't get paid is because they didn't have the correct paperwork - which in this case is basically true!

I wonder if it's like a gambling addiction, where if your first time goes a certain way it messes you up. As in first time gamblers winning big are likely to get addicted. If people have a bad experience their first time needing to work with a big government/corporate entity they're more likely to think everything has short cuts they're unaware of.
