  I mean. They know best.

  After all, there are tons of them and only a few of us right. Not like being a billionaire is a mental illness rooted in hoarding or anything like that. They’re totally stable and normal, just look at all of the vocal billionaires in the world. Always saying sendible and relatable things.

  Power makes you awesome, absolute power makes you absolutely awesome! No side affects!

    Eh, I’d rather a billionaire weigh in. I don’t trust the opinion of a lowly pleb.

  Luckily, once you push enough people hard enough, you end up with an angry army. Look back at the history of anti union efforts and how many ended up with the workers striking in multiple uses of the word.

    Also look back on the history of the French Revolution and how many aristocrats literally lost their heads.

  Is there anything for us to do about this? The fact this isn’t instantly dismissed is scary and insane.
