No, it clearly isn't. Do these "oligarchs" all move to Africa where the "best cattle" are? Of course not - because those are the worst people to have as customers / employees. What the low human capital people are good at is being a (D) vote bank b/c US gibs look great to them

If third world cattle was the best people to rule and businesses / the wealthy called the shots then you'd see a hell of a lot more movement of those people to the third world where they have all the 3rd world "cattle" they could ever want Instead the 3rd world wealthy come here

Your model is wrong. They are not motivated by rational economic calculation because they are doing horribly by that metric. They are motivated by malice.

>The oligarchs economic calculations mad them 2 trillion this past 2 years Idiotic. They cost themselves massive, uncountable sums in real estate value and the swelling of asset prices reflects money printing - *which they controlled anyway* - which means it was a loss.

It was a loss because if they controlled money printing this control was worth more than printing a bunch of it, handing it out to (D) vote banks and (D) operators and seeing some of it trickle back into valuations of their owned assets *and* they devalued their seigniorage

SoHo real estate was massively valuable when police protection for high end retail existed - that ended last spring.

Yes. Power trumps money - which is why they are very willing to cost themselves wealth in exchange for power - but once you realize that power trumps money you also need to stop looking at "the rich" to decide who's got power. Gates is a pathetic hanger-on in the world of power
