Well it’s a statement so obvious I hardly assumed it needed explaining. Have you ever thought about the practical aspect of removing billionaires? How exactly do you think it will happen? There are several methods and they’re all very difficult.
You can’t reign them in when the reigns are for purchase
You can’t prevent them from purchasing the reigns because when the price tag is big enough, everything is for sale
You can’t stop them from purchasing reigns altogether because they’ll go to a different market who can, then force the market to be open to them
They will do everything in their power to KEEP their power, and to prevent them from EVER LOSING their power
There IS ONLY ONE WAY to stop billionaires from having power and it is to stop them from being billionaires in any way available
I think reining them in is enough. We can habe billionaires in a green economy.
I totally agree that billionaires should not exist, but I think climate change is more important and we shouldn’t lose sight of that.
The average billionaire emits 1 million times more CO2 than the average 90%er. There are about 3000 of them
Yeah and it’s easier to transition to clean energy, mitigating their output, than it is to remove them.
Consider how much easier it would be without them though
Yeah but consider how difficult it is to remove them.
Difficult in what way?
Is that a serious question?
Yes. You just keep saying it’s difficult with no explanation.

It’s “rein them in”
Reins are for horses, reigns are for kings
And rains are for the plains of Spain!
The planes in Spain fall in the rain
