No. The automod is just sentient and like to make jokes.
I don't know any place that serves beans, so I was just staying silent.

You can file a complaint in your County Court. It's over $7000, so contact an attorney. It might cost you $1000 for the attorney, but they will be much more successful in navigate filing a claim.

We do this now.
- Trepanation (drilling or scraping a hole in the skull) to release the demons out. (Seriously, but sometimes worked because of cranial pressure from severe head trauma, they just didn't know that)
- Lobotomy, severing connections in the brain’s prefrontal lobe with an implement resembling an icepick, done up till the 1970's
- Bloodletting ie draining your blood to restore the balance of humors. Just tap an artery and let some blood out till your better.
- Malaria therapy. You got syphilis? We'll give you malaria, cause the fever is so hot and prolonged, it will kill the syphilis.
- Cough syrup used to be made from morphine
- Mercury drops was a common medical tonic.
- Heroin was also a cough syrup as well.
- Leeches anyone? Common up till the 1800's, people used leeches, usually in reference to bloodletting.

Well, the MBTA has some experience with escalator failures. https://youtu.be/3lt3gELY3pU So that's probably why
