      “But doesn’t this cost more and take up more space than just putting them side by side and not having the stairs? And the stairs are even dangerous for the person on top!”

      “Ah, see you’re not thinking about how fun it is to shit on other people.”

    That’s not quite it.

    Then thr 0.1% gets all the money, and the failing rich blame themselves for not being clever enough.

    Then the 0.01% get all the money and fly around in golden zeppelins
