        The sad reality is that the lower the peasants are, the higher the owners feel, and humanity subsists in service to our about 3k billionaires and 28k 100-million-plus-onairs fee-fees, exclusively.

        A tragic aspect of human nature, and this is part of psychology, is that the basis of human happiness is usually derived from comparison to others.

        If Warren, Elon, Rupert, Jeff, etc could snap their fingers and give everyone a magically sustainable Earth where everyone gets whatever they want or need similar to them, they wouldn’t, the being so far above the peasants is the point.

      Maybe we could just start some civil unrest in the top 20? Level the playing field.

      /S for anyone that needs it. Feels like there’s a lot of you lately.
