He's been run over so many times now his whole body's red, so he's gotten used to it.

Great use of the trolley problem. Given the number of people in thought experiment, it's more likely that we'd be tied to the tracks than not

Good comic.

Funny how people who fantasize being in a zombie outbreak never realize they're one of the zombies, and not even one of the special infected with zombie powers.

I love the concept of this comic but it is put together all wrong.

The last panel should be the second and third panels and the second and third panel should be 4th and maybe a fifth. I don't even know if that's necessary but you get the picture. It should be a bit of a "oh yeah okay, that's why" when you look at the person who's on the switch.

The way things are ordered now when you get the last panel it's more like a "hurr durr, I guess capitalism suck" than a "of course it's fucking capitalism!!"

Yeah the punchline is basically already in panel 2

I just remembered what this reminded me. This ethical test for a situation or system, that I was taught as the Veil of Ignorance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position

Or in this case, would you still design a trolley system that runs people over if you didn't know which person you'd end up as?
