    Yeah, good point. Also, I think Oliver knows Thomas wouldn’t take the offer (even if it was higher) and he’s basically just doing this for the lols, which I can appreciate

      I think it’s more than just for the lolz…it reframes the issue. It makes you think “how could we get this POS off the bench?”

      It’s like when he buys up debt or whatever… He’s demonstrating how the problem is clearly fixable, even if he only fixed one drop in the bucket
