Opinion

Money can't do everything but it can do many things, like shield people from scrutiny and exposure. It's unfortunate that with enough money you can deal with problems without actually solving them. Makes the world a less positively progressive place and that you can cause problems but if you have the means, you don't need to face them. Not an ideal world, but the reality we live in.
