It's all very normal when you recognize how much of our institutional structure is corrupted by profit-seeking.

Its no different than a police officer taking a bribe to let you out of a speeding ticket. Or a customs official demanding a kick-back to let a ship unload its cargo. Or a mafia goon shaking down a local storefront for "protection" money. Just institutionalized so there's no risk of being punished.

There's nothing strange about unfettered greed. The only strange part is that it isn't (technically) a feudal system going along with it.
