To the people replying to my previous tweet with "they should solve world hunger instead", thank you so much for bringing that to the billionaires' attention. I'm sure none of them have been working on that problem for the past twenty years.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6abN6UgidY …

1/ If those are the only possible outcomes then I agree. I dunno about the political aspect though. I'm less convinced about the political point though. Vast sums of money are brought to bare in the US political system that isn't just Bloomberg being behind a podium for a bit.

That's exactly my point, though. Do people really want Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, etc. spending a ton of money on political lobbying? Is that really what they're asking for?

Personally, my problem isn't with space race fueling tech innovation. The innovation is good. My problem is with billionaires existing. So when I complain about the fact that billionaires spend their money incorrectly I'm mostly just upset about the fact that they can.

Which I realize is mostly subjective and people might disagree with me and that is fine, because that's why we have elections. But part of the system that makes it possible for billionaires to exist is also part of the system that causes lots of inequality and suffering.
