Late-stage capitalist trolley problem:
There's a trolley, but no one is one the tracks. Do you:
a) Allow the trolley to pass by without incident, and thus rob the medical industry of its paycheck for stitching you back up
or
b) Jump in front of the trolley and get injured, but thus also delay its arrival to its destination and thus rob the trolley company shareholders of profits due to missing customers
Late-stage capitalist problem:
There's tracks, but trolly service was defunded as it wasn't profitable. Now everyone spends thousands per year to maintain a car.

Ah yes car centric hell
The real late-stage-capitalism problem: suicide is the more ecconomic way to go out than have your estate end in bankruptcy because healthcare is just so damn expensive and insurance is insensitived to deny coverage.
The parable of the broken window was introduced by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay "That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen" ("Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas") to illustrate why destruction, and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society.
This problem only works if the user has insurance, and obviously he shouldn't have that because it could be profit, the obvious answer is to jump on the track to get that profit back to the corporations.

excuse me but me jumping onto the tracks removes a problem. maybe two or three. this has been studied by medicine.
It wouldn't be MY problem, at least 🤷♂️
Actually it would solve all my problems
All my problems become someone else's! And many of them become worse!
My Belgian step-neighbor did this in Cameroon once and everyone was so mad, they wrote instrumental songs about him for years. They were the most beautiful songs in the world, unfortunately they were lost to time and I never got to hear them.
With the big money controlling everything, it'd be a cheaper way to go out than bankrupting your estate with a hospital bill and denial of care from insurance.
Reminds me of my workplace (I'm the trolley and others are jumping on the tracks)
Is this in reference to ICE and Renee Good, because I think we know what that ICE agent decided? Create a problem so they can pull the trigger.
I wonder what her estate is doing.
Knowing myself, I'll stumble and the problem will arise all by itself.
Yep, sounds like something I do every day.
Hijack the trolley. If it goes under 5mph, it blows up.
Nah, I'd just whinge about it untill the train derailed itself.
No, but if this was the Fat guy version I would push him on the track
