This was enabled by tapping a vein into the working class middle class. We are seeing how that blood money is being used -- to buy votes and thereby politicians and judges and so "legally" lock in the plutocracy. The irony of course is that the big losers think brown people are eating their lunch

Here's the solution...tax code.

They have no idea how mad people are.

I think they do, which is why they have put so much effort into directing that rage at any target but themselves.

Yet, so many people that make minimum wage or close to it vote regularly for those that make this scenario their life's work.

Trump and Musk are good arguments for draconian inheritance laws.

Not just democracy. Just really everything. The whole concept of money, wealth, civilization, society, etc. are based on a social contract. When these entitled billionaires get overinflated and high on their own supply then they risk bringing the whole house of cards down.
