Yes, accepting $100,000 in political bribes is a great example of the amount of money thrown into politics like it’s nothing- the idea that these political bribes are so effective in dictating policy that spending 6+ figures in campaign donations is economically viable for companies. And yes, the idea that NS only offered him $1,000 and expected that to be enough of a political bribe to sway his policies means that Mastriano can be bought out for that cheap of an amount. Accepting any amount of money as a political bribe is bad- but if you’re going to do it, you’d think you would want more, or reject lower offers on principle alone. Taking 1k is the equivalent of agreeing to suck someone off in the walmart parking lot for a gallon of DEF & a pack of newports.

Norfolk Southern must’ve evaluated & determined his worth as such

As others have pointed out-

1. ⁠It happened at a private school

2. ⁠It happened in an Optional Class

3. ⁠The kids had to get waivers from their parents to participate

4. ⁠The kids themselves had the option to opt out

So, if you don’t like it, just don’t sign the waver. Nobody was or is forcing these kids to see stuff without both their, and their parents consent first.
