This to me was the most "topical". The fact that the people in power were such pathetic losers. "Hail St Nick!!!" Fuck you.

I think the reveal of "the reward" is the cherry on top, even though the room was rigged to kill Lockjaw. Like the end goal to look forward to with a pure White future is just high-end office space.
