Honestly it's literally the trolley meme in real life

Except instead of killing one stranger to save five you are killing one person to earn $10 and saving no one and then repeating the process, letting you kill more people to earn more money. Still apparently a moral mystery to some people, but I think framing it around an operator of public transport starts to fall apart.

What? I meant on one track is Binladen and on the other is Brian Thompson, which would save more lives

Trolleys are wonderful and I use them in my daily life to get around. I don't want to be late because they're cleaning the Thompson cartiledge out of the tracks just because you can't frame your moral problems around high intensity lasers or something else that doesn't affect my commute.
