Maybe it’s me, but when is it ENOUGH MONEY for these INSANE SOB’s? I’m serious. The greed of these people is unbelievable. The fact that they’re not even trying to hide it is even more astounding.

It will never be enough. Musk wants to be the world's first trillionaire and first actual Bond villain, and the only way he can achieve that goal is to receive government contracts from the US while stealing all of our Social Security and Medicare money.
All they needed to do is pay their fair share in taxes,they'd still have enormous wealth and Trump/Musk wouldn't be stealing from the middle class of our social security and Medicare.
It’s just numbers to them, they can’t comprehend the scale of their wealth. It’s the basis for their self worth. Enough money = immunity from consequences and that’s intoxicating.
Maybe. But 99% income tax for those who have $1 bln in assets. They just need an allowance at that point, eh? It’s a lot more than they allow us. I think it’s over-generous.
The 'takers' become addicted to the pile they acquire, they spend their waking hours counting it, and they dream about it when they sleep, it becomes 'Dragon fever'.
They avoid paying for anything when possible, they refuse to give any back.... taxes for example.
I used to ask this question, but then I learned it’s a way of keeping score. The person with the most money wins. It isn’t about having enough money. It’s about winning this stupid game.
I almost wonder if they had only been manipulating the stock market and not deporting people imprisoning people we might’ve just said hey it’s just stocks.
I agree totally with you. How many homes can you own, how many yachts, vehicles, or vacations can you take? While employees can’t even live decently with benefits including healthcare.
"The fact that they’re not even trying to hide it is even more astounding."
C'mon, now. How do you hide a, say, 260 foot yacht with a heliport? It's not like you put it on a trailer and back it into your garage.

It's like they are playing monopoly and are trying to win 🏆. Only problem is that if everyone else is poor they can't buy what they have to sell. In their minds if everyone is wealthy what fun is it being rich and everyone wanting to be them.
Mansions & yachts are so yesterday. These billionaires are buying governments and entire countries. Expensive line items.
At least that's all I can figure out.
Its a power and money grab. More money, more power. More power, more money. People need to stop working, hit the streets, protesting every single fucking day to knock these fuckers off the hype shit they are on. Inequality is destroying democracy.
Most people are a paycheck or two from insolvency. Because pay rises were only permitted for the rich, it becomes financial suicide to take off work to protest. In Europe, strikes are possible and effective.
Americans, as you well know, don't have the safety nets to attempt a strike.
The only way I see for us to get through this is when they do try to screw up Social Security. Those of us who are retired, do have a 'bigger stake in the game'. I'm trying to get a health clearance for the 4/19 protest. If not by then, then the next one.
I'm reading the FB book so it's on my mind. He's just like trump. Why did Mark Zuckerberg have to have the same exact jumpsuit as Benson Boone at the Grammys for his Wife's bday? Like he saw something that made him feel something so he had to make it his. He had to take it. Psychopathic
People like tRump and Muskrat are deeply insecure and empty inside. They can never be satisfied no matter how much they have, and it's always a zero sum game. For them to win, others must lose. There is no such thing as win-win.
Agreed. Why isn’t more money than one could spend in a lifetime enough?? I also wonder how they sleep at night knowing they could feed hungry children and house single parents with the stroke of a pen.

The problems in the US stem from gross inequality

Just sayin'
That's a sociopaths main goal in life.

Poverty exists because the rich can NOT be satisfied.

We're in the late - perhaps terminal - stage of capitalism, where entities and corporations control of governments and the media for profits.
When that begins to fail they'll turn on each other, and it still won't be enough.

Oh for an edit button ...
It's an 80 yo movie and sadly it's still true today.
