    I don't get people mad about billionaires investing in vanity projects rather than Fixing Society when step one in any reasonable plan to Fix Society would be forcible regime change

        it fits perfectly with internationalist liberal ethos and people would probably be much more upset by outward national chauvinism/cooption of democracy

        anyway starting a launch company in the 21st century expecting to conquer the stars is arguably more realistic than building libraries in the 19th expecting to create a society of scholar-gentlemen

        thinking: if Bezos decided that he's going to cover healthcare for bottom 50 million or so, everyone would run screaming about how awful it is that he gets to decide etc

        it seems reasonable to be mad about existence of billionaires but kind of pointless to be mad about the exact way they spend their money

        I'm thinking specifically of the people outraged at bottled water donations to flint, how dare companies think they can supplant the government in providing services, etc

        or like, no housing in the bay area is terrible, tech companies want to build housing because no one else is willing or able, it's company towns/serfdom

        and I mean, they're not wrong! it's ridiculous that a profit-motivated corporation should step in to "provide services" over the (theoritically) populace-happiness-motivated state

        but the fact is these are foremost failures of the state rather than predations of private enterprise

        I think they're mostly mad about all that money being sent into space instead of being used to buy equipment or materials or employ workers or pay for rent or utilities.
