    Billionaires don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves, not even their kids. And, we’ve all agreed to let billionaires run the world, it seems.

      We’re just a few millimeters away from revoking that agreement though. There’s not that many of them.

        I don’t see the beginning of anything to rein in the power they get from just being overrich assholes.

        Ironically, the only countries on Earth that control tightly (some of) their billionaires are Russia and China. I rememer Vietnam also executed one for tax fraud. Something for which they are barely slapped on their hand in western countries.
