    Does money flow ......?

    Just reading a bit about the situation in the USA being manipulated by peoples greed, it made me wonder

    No, the clever are just the intermediaries between the stupid and the dishonest.

      No it's the other way round in this country, we have rules to make sure of that.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Unlike the standard client-agency-contractor model where the parties are shuffled around a bit.

          Well, to be fair, the clients are stupid enough to ask for it, and we're stupid enough to put up with it. My hypothesis was more about the general flow of money through society.

            As I understand it, the flow is:
