For some reason the frivolity that came to mind for me was the time Michelle Obama wanted to go shopping, so they shut down an enormous swath of NYC near the store and of course had an entire imperial legion escorting her.
I have no idea what the price tag was on that, but the opportunity cost of shutting down NYC for an afternoon would probably hit the billions.
Why don't people realize how insane it all is? I feel like I am the crazy one for seeing how nuts it is.
