Meaning
This reads as satire about the burden of being admired, blamed, and expected to solve everyone else’s problems. It can be taken to mean that power brings constant scrutiny and little gratitude, even when it is meant to protect or provide. It lands when authority feels less like privilege than an endless obligation to please people who will still complain.
