      Pretty much. There are a lot of ways this can go badly, from extracting peoples’ addresses for harassment, to not fulfilling contracts they disagree with, to simply handing himself money.

    When are the millionaires going to get pissed off enough to do something legally or did they just move to another country?

      They don’t see the writing on the wall, if it protects the billionaires it must protect to millionaires. They don’t realize they’re days are only numbered slightly higher than the rest of us.

        That’s exactly it. Billions or a dictator are the only qualifications to get you a seat at the table. If you don’t have one of those, fight, flight, fawn or freeze.
