Study Finds Most Would Become Supervillians If Given Powers

From the article: "But power also acts like strong cologne that affects both the wearer and those within smelling distance, Galinsky noted. The person gains an enhanced sense of their importance, and other people may regard them with greater respect as well as extend leniency toward their actions. That combination makes for an easy slide into corruption."
Good for who? You know, there are laws, saying that if you get 10 cars, that means that at least 9 people are without car. I hope you've got my point!
