Its not hard to run fake restaurants out of other franchisee's properties. Its also not hard to sell energy drinks from gas station shelves when you already have a brand name. None of these people have it hard, or would not be able to post videos of them depriving 40+ people of necessities as they each sit in separated circles to compete for money. Jimmy doesn't fight the laws with all the free speech he has acquired through his life because they are what directed the fiscal winds of change into his pocket. It would damage his finances, and his many business, if the average person had it better. The anger is directed at the machine, of which he happens to be a substantial cog.
I mean it's easier to stack him since he's in the public culture. I just disagree he's a substantial cog. There are far larger and critical institutions that reinforce the system and do far for damage to society. Talking as if Mr. Beast has any actual influence or powerful is laughable.
