Seems to me like that bunny should GET A JOBBBBBB
Also i really want the government to be run by unregistered sex offenders. Every night I pray that God will let my guy get away with it.
This reminds of the line from the Charles Dickens book. I'm pretty sure the Muppets Christmas Carol was actually one of the carol versions that took many of its lines from the book and followed it very accurately.
Anyway, the line is scrooge responding to the insufficient state of the poor houses and that some people would rather die than live in them. He says:
It's interesting how even in Dickens times this idea of the problem being "too many people" was used as an excuse for poverty and inequality by the capitalist and bankers. Seeing as it's still being done today. And many people still fall for this lie.
This is a report on industry contemporary to the time

Although keep in mind this was in the context of England plundering India of wealth at the same time. So it's as much about inequality as anything, as always.
One of my favorite lit analysis videos is about this! The ghost's reply to him on this is so fucking based
Oh, did the ghosts bring up his quote, right? The Ghost of Christmas Present if I remember. It hit so hard coming from the marry and happy ghost just dropping that line at the most painful time. The Muppets version literally did Dickens book justice. It's literally my favorite adaptation of it.
