That’s why they’re working so hard on militarizing AI. As they become more and more obscene, the risk of getting killed by their own private security gets higher.
They want killing machines protecting them instead.
Comment on just temporarily embarrassed billionaires, one good idea or lottery ticket from making it rich

Yeah, now it’s too late. Taxing the billionaires will only be undone by them as they use their vast riches to influence elections and control governments. Today’s ultra wealthy has more wealth and political power than they have at any time in human history, and they are set on world domination (and enslaving the worker class until they can all be replaced with automation).
We’re going to have to find a way to take all their ill-gotten gains. And rest assured, they will not relinquish it unless forced to do so. We’ll probably have to pry their lucre from their cold dead hands, and that of their heirs (and their heirs).

Not to mention their influence on you.
Hasan Piker is currently on the front page of twitch.tv, a website owned by Jeff Bezos.
You feel this way because the influencers the billionaires recommend you watch have made you feel this way. You’re told by Jeff Bezos’ boy Hasan that liberals are the enemy so you will never vote for taxing billionaires. It’s only “too late” because you’ve been made to believe it’s too late. You need to stop listening to millionaires that are being promoted by billionaires.
