Alright, I’m starting the new field of billionaire studies. It will be fair and balanced, and neutral to class politics. It will treat them just like any other group studied by the social sciences and humanities.

No didn’t know there was something like that. I don’t trust anything Vox puts out though.

The word “solution” immediately compromises any study since that would appear to indicate a starting posture that they’re a “problem” to be solved.

There are approx 2200 billionaires in the world. There are approx 4400 cities with over 150k residents. So it's like every 2 cities in the world gets it's own rando demigod. Except it's not a god. It's just a shitbird that extracted wealth from all those people.
