Great Satire Writing:
Past would be like: "Remember that Christmas morning when you and your Grandpa went to one his Emerald mines and watched one of his "workers" get punished for taking a pause HEY why is this your most cherished Xmas memory?"
I respect that, from a labor prospective
Sounds like they need a union.
My favorite take on Christmas Carol was the Blackadder version where he starts out as a good person and then the ghosts visit him and show him what right bastards his ancestors were (it was a special that included bits from other seasons of the show, which featured a different Blackadder ancestor asshole each season) and convince him to start being a prick too. IIRC the next morning he kicks Tiny Tim's crutches out from underneath him. Just a great reverse take on the trope and I'm surprised that nobody else ever did anything like that (as far as I know).
The Musk version would start out with him being an asshole and ending up an even bigger asshole.
