Gosh that’s just so surprising. You mean to tell me people who are already rich and powerful are abusing their power and riches to get even more money and power, and are in fact doing so at the expense of those under them? (This part is sarcasm)

That just doesn’t make any sense, why would they possibly gain from doing that other than another zero to show their other rich friends? (This part is semi-genuine sarcasm, because that really is all they want)

On a tangential side note, am I the only one who thinks modern game score inflation is really stupid in largely the same way? Like pinball for example; you can typically tell the era of the game based on how many digits it uses for the score. Really old games use 3, old games use 6, semi-modern use 9, and machines made today tend to use 12+. Like they just tacked on more zeroes to make it seem more rewarding but practically speaking it’s the exact same thing, just like the extra 50 million for a billionaire.
