Society does not do that. They can extract more capital, so they’re considered more important.

If gardeners were paid 500k/year, they would be exalted. It has nothing to do with the work or the value provided to society.

People just love money and praise those that have it.

Worship of the rich is a sickness in society. Like I said, the value of banking is akin to the value of gardening, and worshipping the bankers just enables destructive distortions.
