1) See above... it's not $10 anymore, it's now respectively
scaled to "$significant to you", so it can't be dodged as triviality.

2a) No, if there is no repurcussion, they'll likely keep coming back.

2b) Then it becomes beyond $significant to you, for which

And now you have an ugly circular and cyclical thieves and
slaughter society. Nice.
