Spend a lot and got paid a lot are two sides of the same coin
Until the bubble bursts, then both sides of the coin look the same.
The illusion fades, and you realize the coin you spent billions on is actually a token for an arcade that went under. The ripple you caused might tip your boat a little, but even if you got a little wet, another boat will be along soon.
The ripple will fan out, gaining speed and size, like a rogue wave embodying the great wrath of Poseidon.
The workers, struggling to keep their rafts buoyant, will be swept up in the mountainous swell. Their bodies condemned to be broken on the sand or ruined in the cold darkness.
