They sacrifice the masses to save the billionaires

Surely we can redirect the trolley with shrewd tax incentives and pro growth policies

To be fair, the trolley problem doesn't really have an "answer," so much as an exploration for how one views concepts like "murder" when diffused through intermediaries. That said, your solution is making a lot of sense.

Liberals act like there is a clear answer when they post about it I mean

Now now, there’s still time to get this trolley back on track and offer a tax rebate to incentivize people in under-served districts to continue operating the switch

"Surely not the *good* billionaires though!?"

Trolleys brake for the bourgeoisie

unironically, the trolley problem is a fair representation for communism, except the track with one person actually contains a billionaire and the other contains like 999 regular people

liberals are too busy saying things like “well, I would pull the brake lever” as if the trolley problem is about solving it efficiently

It only works when it's about to deny rights to an oppressed group of people to "win an election"

start tying billionaires to the tracks and call it the trolley solution

That's the "fat villain" variant (Yes ethicists were all "obviously one person alone couldn't halt a tram... but what if that person was really fat?")

no see if they're not on the tracks, you're not allowed to *put them* on the tracks, that's cheating the whole conceit is that the victim candidates were on the tracks already. no, don't ask how they got there or who tied them, that's also cheating
