I have been tangentially involved in some accounting topics through my work tasks over the last few years and I realized what a crazy insular world the bean counters have built for themselves. They think they’re the kings of their little castles, when in reality they just count beans and in a way leech off the actual value that has been produced.
Then some of the bean counters get jobs in government bureaucracy (or worse, in the legislative branch) and make rules about how to count beans which they think look all nice and pretty but in reality just busy even more bean counting worker drones to do the more complex counting.
