Wait, Pinkertons are still around? The Fuck!? And they shot someone other than a union member?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkBLUjuWsAEKpGG?format=jpg&name=large They never really went away, actually, though they don’t do so much union busting and detective work these days. They’re basically corporate security and intelligence contractors, now owned by these guys.
At least in my area the Securitas company bought the pinkertons and uses all their paperwork on the backend. I don’t know how it works in a corporate sense. I know they go all the way into PMC contracting and government contracts but the entire industry is surprisingly shady.
It’s the wild wild world of the American Hegemonic Military - Industrial - Espionage - Information - Marketing -Technology -Who even fucking knows - Complex.
There’s just this vast, muddy swamp of weirdly interconnected arms companies, government agencies, private espionage groups, mercenary contractors, security firms, banks. Like a whole fucking economy within the economy that’s just full of spies and mercs and shit.
The same guys who provide security for your local car garage might, in some weird esoteric thread of corporate malfeasance, also be selling missiles to Ukrainian neo-nazis.
