This is a 3-panel satirical comic meme. In the first panel, a corporate executive leans over a conference table and asks meeting attendees how to stop people from burning down the company's warehouses. In the second panel, attendees first suggest surveillance and security as solutions, then an awkward attendee nervously proposes the idea: 'Let's pay them liveable wages?'. In the third panel, the furious executive throws the person who suggested paying liveable wages out of the window of a high-rise office building. The joke mocks corporate greed, highlighting that big businesses would rather use aggressive security measures to stop worker unrest than implement the obvious, reasonable solution of paying workers a fair living wage.
