    There’s this movie called Believe that is unironic Ebeneezer Scrooge apologism, and I think that’s where the rich-asshole protagonist references “There’s a difference between guys who sign the front of the check, and guys who sign the back.” It might be the only time in history that’s been treated like it favors the guys who sign the front.

    This feels similar.
