At some point vast wealth becomes a hoarding disorder and it ought to be treated as such.pic.twitter.com/i3f5wz2YiK
The question of whether billionaires should exist shouldn't be phrased in terms of money, but of what money is: controlling other people's labor. Why, for any reason, should one person dictate the labor of millions?

I have speculated that, in part, it might be driven by homo sapiens sapiens not having an "enough" or "too much" switch because, biologically for our species, "enough" meant survival and "too much" was inconceivable re: resources 100,000 years ago.

That so many are content to be dictated in this way is the question.

Not just content.... they will defend it as if they closer to the billionaires than the rest of us totally ignorant that they will never be there.

They seem to have designed money in such a way its like slavery tokens. Maybe we need to democratically redesign how money is created and how we design it?pic.twitter.com/MA0dkzfhiv

Perhaps it is up to our species to find the path back to a smaller population. Not to defend the status quo of an eight billion population.

It is wonderfully ironic that uncurbed capitalism leads to its most despised counterpart: a planned economy.

Vonnegut's Player Piano is a great read and highly relevant to this irony!

Money = power. Specifically, political power. Individuals with huge sums of capital can undermine policy & manipulate the economy against govts. It puts the opinions & desires of those single people above all else. It creates oligarchy. This is a feature of capitalism, not a bug.
