I personally think there's a more interesting point about the United States contained within the Wikipedia article. The concept of various rules, procedures, and laws dependent on celebrity, status, or wealth seems to show up everywhere.

It seems like you’re using “editorialised” as a pejorative, but I don’t necessarily understand how it’s negative. Nothing about the headline is hyperbolic or an exaggeration.
The string of events from “unsafe to work” —> “cannot work” / “went to work sick” —> “no benefits” does have a direct impact on the economy, unless I’m missing some section there.

Agreed. There are people in jail at this very moment, not because they were convicted of a crime, but because they couldn’t pay bail to get out.
