Steal $1.65, get fired. Steal $50 million, get promoted.

Germany has a major debate underway because a company has fired a cashier of over three decades due to accusations she stole $1.65. This is the modern world, where laws and responsibility are only for the little people. One quote from the article sums is up perfectly:

"I don't understand how a cashier can be fired because of 1.30 euros while managers who lose billions of euros can keep their jobs," Seehofer told a rally in Bavaria on Wednesday.

I can understand, it is because we are living in a kleptocracy.
