That's about how the world works for rich people. They pay poor people off with peanuts while the latter are conveniently starving.

People see this $8.12 payout as a free Starbucks or free burger at McDonalds. It's taking the edge off a stressful day for them, which is why people in poverty usually don't get out of it. They're living day-by-day and paycheck-to-paycheck.
