Nah. I know some real garbage people who seem to be immune to Karma. No bad ever comes their way.
And some wonderful people who seem to attract all the Karma which slid right off the garbage people.
The world is unfair, and the universe doesn't care. Morality is emergent from consciousness; in a time before our big thinky brains had evolved, there was no such thing as bad and good.
Evidence: How many, many animals live and thrive is deeply immoral by human standards. With few exceptions, pick just about any horror movie and I can show you an animal who exhibits those behaviors in its normal life.
Yeah, in theory it's possible there was some AI text generation used at some point, but it's clearly writers aping a style, a lot of the funny 'errors' are not something a text-prediction AI is likely to make (especially with how punny most of them are). The rest of the series is pretty funny, though I think the horror movie is the best one.

While some here are debating the credibility of the source (which is understandable), I read this idea in some form approx once a week. That is, it transcends sources.
I find it disturbing and disheartening that little has changed since 2016. One way or another we'll make it through the 2020 election. But 2024 has all the makings on a horror movie.
Heads remain pushed deep into the sand. Symptoms are passed off as root causes. Root cause - who whip up the blame-the-symptoms spin - continue to get a free pass. It's hard to imagine a healthy outcome anytime soon.
