This was Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa's response to mass protests by his country's security forces after a law eliminating civil servant bonuses was enacted.
This is like the governmental equivalent to the climax of Predator.
Except the Predator was hunting Arnold because Arnold had seriously fucked the Predator over in the past. Hey! Maybe there's a prequel in this. Two years before the events of Predator, Dutch and his crew get the benefits canceled at the Predator's job or something, forcing the Predator to hustle just to make ends meet? I like it.
It would be like Hustle and Flow, except with Predators.
Interesting sidenote: The term "ends meet" is in reference to the idea of making your spending match your earning, or barely scraping by with no spare income. However, if you switch the word "meet" with "meat," the meaning could be preserved if you consider it an as making just enough money to buy the worst cut of an animal: the rump; also known as "the end."
Get it? Ends meat?
Wasn't I talking about the political instability of a Latin American country at one point?
