We also created nukes and religion. So there's that too.

Check out those prosperity churches. They are like nukes for grifters. I think the guy who shot shinzo abe did so because his moster was involved in one that abe was connected with. They mostly exist in the American south though.

When I was in my late teens I was visiting family about 1000 miles away. My aunt insisted we go to christmas service at her mega church. Apparently the place was like a massive stadium-esque concert and performance hall with like a recreational and shopping area. My parents paid me to just go along and not alienate our family. So, as we are going up the stairs to the entrance of the chapel, I see, in the lobby, they had a line of ATMs from different banks, they had a kiosk for foreign currency, and a cash register set-up, for tithing. I looked at my dad and said "they invited the money changers into the temple". My aunt asked what I meant by that, and I recounted a reduction of the Jesus flipping tables stories. Then I pointed to the ATMs, kiosk, and register, and said "money changers, they literally have money changers in the temple".

I was then admonished and told it was only an hour, I can keep my thoughts to myself.
