    My face when it turns out every multinational corporation is run by criminals.

    That’s what happens when you reward criminal behaviour with wealth.

      The shitty thing is there’s lots of criminals that get taken down very harshly (namely the poor kind). It’s not even a meritocracy in that way.

      Man, it’s always felt like that to me as well. Even the little guys make no sense sometimes.
