Yeah but all of these people would be failures if they didn’t take the job.

It’s almost like the sunken cost fallacy.

You start with nothing (or sometimes far less than nothing if we take the orange + Putin’s situation into account)

Then you get offered a position of power beyond your wildest dreams.

Then it gets harder and harder as the person who put you there keeps demanding more and more. Eventually they will probably use you as a scapegoat so now your worse off then ever.
