      Things are only so good for the ruling class because all of the progress made for the regular man.

      There is a reason why Russian oligarchs have/want things all over the world, cause Russia isn’t so great by itself.

        I think many of them would rather be perceived as powerful in a dystopian shithole world than nondescript in an ideological utopian world though.

        Yeah Bill Gates says shit. And his wealth now is greater than when he pledged to give it all away. And even when he “gives it away” he just creates foundations that he controls.

        Bill Gates fought to keep intellectual property laws around vaccines during COVID-19. He’s no better than any other billionaire, and deserves not to have 62% of his wealth taken away but 99.9% or even 99.999%.
