Lots of people mentioned how the mouthwash can be a metaphor for Jimmy and how he’s like a germ that makes it through the system and causes massive damage (“that lucky 1%”, “kills 99%”). Something else that hasn’t been discussed as much is how the mouthwash could represent censorship in the workplace. Pony Express is a retaliatory company. Anyone who reports misconduct is punished by the company. And the punishment doesn’t stop at the reporting person. The entire crew gets punished. This punishment system encourages employees to silence themselves when incidents of abuse happen. This means cases like Anya’s case go unreported. Maintaining a “clean” image of the company goes hand in hand with employee self-censorship. Employees avoid discussing or reporting anything that could result in punishment and ruin the company’s reputation.
