The attitude towards Ristone's issues has become increasingly peculiar. Initially, through Ristone's internal propaganda, official releases, and appeasement, they successfully shifted the blame onto City Hall.
Especially when Neo appeared before the workers wearing their work clothes, passionately fabricating a story about the corporation being persecuted and unable to complete its transformation, inevitably leading to bankruptcy, which successfully garnered much sympathy.
The workers even organized a few protest marches during the general strike over this matter, right outside City Hall.
They shouted the mayor's name, placing him alongside images of some historical tyrants and dictators, making the mayor very passive at that moment.
But now, things are not the same as before, or rather, the mayor and the state government have decided to completely break with Ristone's issues.
