    Funny enough I feel like presidents and other officials would be shockingly cheap, monetarily.

    Like you’d probably see a literal “Bribe to destroy most potable water in a major city to build another data center” or something and go “Wait for real? Just for like 5 million?!”

    Like they’re already so rich they’ll sell us all out in a heartbeat to toss 2 more gold coins into their gold coin swimming pool.

    I bet they get a lot further simply with promises of access to their network of other wealthy a-holes who are influential simply because they’re wealthy, and wealthy because they’re influential.

    There’s a reason Epstein’s island was a common factor to so many of the wealthy international global elite.

    Ugh. 🤢
