The Daily Beast:

During Wednesday’s Senate hearing on the Equifax data breach, a protester dressed as the “Monopoly Man” from the board game photobombed Equifax CEO Richard Smith’s testimony.

While the CEO discussed his company’s breach that affected 145.5 million people, the protester gazed skeptically through a monocle at the back of his head.

The protester, who is named Amanda Werner, tweeted a photo fully decked out in Monopoly’s Rich Uncle Pennybags attire, complete with the top hat, mustache, and monocle. Werner is a campaign manager for the Americans for Financial Reform coalition and the nonprofit Public Citizen.


In the tweet, Werner explained that the prank, while distracting, was meaningful.



Don't ever forget that "Tort Reform" is coded language used by coin-operated politicians to make it sound reasonable for their client corporations to fuck us out of our right to seek redress through the courts.
