Why is no one also mad at the lobbying group? They come up with ideas to thwart any improvement for us all and don’t see any ethical issues with what they are doing. Being paid to be genuinely evil is something that shouldn’t exist as a job.

This really speaks to the issue of the ultra-wealthy being more interested in power over others than satiating their own needs or desires. Pathetic on their part, like a mental illness for control, manifest through the accumulation of money.

Whenever anyone tells me that capitalism leads to efficient solutions or some such BS, I point them to things like this.

The conspiracy theory that there’s a small group of evil, rich people controlling the world keeps getting validated.

There HAS to be a good chunk of the population that are poor as fuck, that way rich folks can keep getting those who work for them by the balls “you fuck around and I’ll hire that person who’s dying to take your job with a lot less pay than you” . Why do you think they hate unions and UBI and other things that could make people live a bit comfortable?
Here is a good video about it

The richest one percent spending their money to keep everyone else poor. I’m shocked, shocked i tell you. Well, not that shocked, maybe just hungry? Eat the rich.

Trebuchets won’t give you indigestion, are environmentally and economically friendly, easy to assemble, and require no permits to own or operate. They are also capable of flinging the fattest of fatcats at least 150m, which is either far enough, or we fire again.
