    They are hoarding money, not because they need it, or even because they just want more.

    I am convinced by now that the reason they are hoarding wealth is to keep it away from you.

    Billionaires don’t want you to have money because then you’ll be competition.

    It’s just another example of boomers pulling the latter up with them.

      Not even. Billionaires don’t want you to have money because if you did you’d have bargaining power and the ability to turn down jobs you don’t like, well, you’d turn down jobs you didn’t like. Or at least work fewer hours.

      So long as you need some sort of job, you’ll do some work for them or those who work for them (essentially supporting their structure) rather than for others in your community for that sake (ie: earning less money to do a job you relate to more, which I think a lot of us would naturally do instead of working for corporations).

      So long as someone is having trouble paying rent, they’ll do jobs they otherwise would have considered degrading or unconscionable.

      So long as someone is stuck in the street without a home or job and hardly able to get food, and we see him, we’ll work twice as hard to make sure we don’t end up like that.

      This is why they don’t give us money. Material need is a lever of control, that keeps their power intact.
