It’d amazing how these billionaires can push for this, when the example of Putin’s Russia or Xi’s China are right there, showing what happens when you have a government headed by an thin-skinned autocrat who might decide to take your money and your life, not necessarily in that order.

Ask any one of a number of Russian oligarchs. You might need a Ouija board, of course.

They would rather be afraid of one person that they think they can control than a population of people who can see through their bullshit.

Being successfully greedy makes people pretty stupid in that they believe they’re untouchable.

We as a country right now are going through a “it can’t happen here” with Hitler Trump and it’s no different for billionaires except their version is “it can’t happen to me, I’m special because I’m a billionaire.”

Jack Ma is a billionaire. See how that turned out?. Do they not think for a moment that someone as jealous and vindictive as Trump wouldn’t pull a similar stunt, if not worse?

And Ma got off relatively lightly.

Ackman went on teevee early in the covid after he shorted the market to tell everybody to sell

He th bought the 30 percent dip

SEC did jack shot about it.

This world sucks so much that unplugging is a necessary coping mechanism. We’ve given assholes way too much control.
