I was amazed that there is no limit to how many pardons a president van issue (let alone take money for it) but now I learn that Governors can pardon too?

How can people accept this in a civilized wold?

governors can pardon state level crimes. And a pardon is just the executive branch of government saying that they are not going to enforce any punishment against a person who was convicted of a crime.
