A modern Christmas Carol remake where Scrooge doesn’t change his ways but instead makes his whole personality about how the woke Christmas ghosts are trying to cancel him

How about a story about Bob Crachit where he gets visited by the three ghosts of Billionaires past, present and future and learns that he’s worthless and should be grateful for the scraps he gets?
can 100% see it lol. starts haranguing the boy outside his window about the ghosts immediately & never stops. doesn't believe in Christmas or Jesus at all, just hellbent on converting everyone to take his woke ghost problem seriously & make it the reason for the season
The ghosts of social justice warrior past, snowflake present, and wokeness yet to come. “These are all crisis actors! Look how thin your skin is, spirit, getting bothered that I pulled myself up by my bootstraps just because no one wants to work anymore! So much for the tolerant Left”
Ghost of Christmas Present is literally just "It's Christmas Day - maybe you could consider letting Bob Cratchit go home at 8:00 p.m. instead of 9:00 p.m.?"
Christmas Day? A day off? You'll be wanting a four day working week next. Then what? Work from home? Think of my business portfolio for once you inconsiderate scrote.
Leaning out the window asking every passer by what day it is, but none of them respond because they are afraid to engage with you. So you are just left assuming the ghosts' trick where people in your visions couldn't see or hear you still applies and you die muttering about being spirit banned.
Where the impoverished debtors all learn a valuable lesson about moral hazard and having to take responsibility for your finances even if your children are sick and your hovel is rude with plague and tuberculosis. Society isn't responsible for your outcome, after all!
Would be on par with some of the original critics reactions where they talked about Scrooge and Bob going to debtors prison after Scrooge goes into debt spreading Christmas cheer.
This is actually not THAT far off from the dystopian future the Ghostbusters accidentally create when they go back in time and capture the Christmas ghosts before they get to Scrooge, forcing them to go back again and teach him the meaning of Christmas themselves.
