    Yep. The superrich who allege that they want to do good would—if they meant it!—pay fair taxes, pay (preferrably unionized) workers well, stop starving schools of funds. A solid @josephestiglitz review of new book by @anandwrites on the "elite charade". https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/20/books/review/winners-take-all-anand-giridharadas.html …pic.twitter.com/o8VIcLRjKA

        Philantrophy is fine and great, but not if all the money is accumulated because taxes are skillfully avoided, workers paid a pittance and politics thwarted by throwing around money. Otherwise, it's a bit like arsonists showing up with a bottle of water to the five-alarm fire.

        Everything else is a symptom to the structural crisis: and the particular way that technological developmets are playing out is a consequence of the structural crisis. There are fixes necessary at every level, but nothing will really take without solving the structural crisis.

        If employees get treated well without unions, that is preferable. Unions are like having two distant parents that are constantly fighting all the time. Contracts get held up, nobody knows WTF is happening, when things will get signed. Ultimately market forces exert eventually.

        I'd say a combination of (a) an 'I've earned it!' attitude (b) a ludicrous urge to keep up with other multimillionaires (c) 'unhappiness' driving megalomaniac self-realization projects (e.g. space exploration) The docs by @lgreen66 seem to address that. https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/jul/08/generation-wealth-how-the-modern-world-fell-in-love-with-money …

        That depends entirely upon the criteria used to determine what is "best."

        More than enough is never enough for these people because they are consumed by greed. But, Rush convinces his listeners the people who 'envy' them are the problem.
