I’m Ancient Greece they used to name platoons and battleships over the rich who were taxed to pay for it. They’d even announce whose battalion was the winner of the battle to give them a publicity boost. They’d even announce rich would compete to pay more taxes to be the one to show off.

I’m not saying that hospitals should exclusively be funding by billionaires honoring their doctor wives who used to work at said hospital, but it’s a pretty innocent gesture.
