I am sure the oligarchs think the societies to make their lives better since they’re so special🤣

This small group lived in total luxury and privilege while the vast majority barely eked out a living,
most of them living in poverty.

The idea of a more equal society with a more equal distribution of wealth is a modern concept.
The ultra wealthy have always hated this idea, and fought FDR tooth and nail as he tried to implement his polices.

Now the wealthy are going to dismantle the safety net and the idea of equality in any form.
Financial or societal. Women are already in second class status. It is a crime now to save the life of a
dying woman.

They believe they can enslave the world’s population without any social niceties like dispensing crumbs to the hoi polloi.

It could not be more clear or apparent.

The people know exactly who and what Trump represents and voted for it.

Trump has not hidden his desire to be the richest and most powerful man in the world
and the American people handed it to him on a silver platter.

He has never hidden his view that everyone is a sucker and loser except for himself,
inner circle, and family.

So broke that the safety net must be destroyed.
Healthcare, education, SS, medicare will all be cut.

All turned over to private companies owned by billionaires who will pocket most of the money.

Of course we can still afford all the tax cuts to the billionaires.
And funding a boondoggle to put a man on Mars.

And to pay the salaries, perks, benefits to the privileged politicians.

Neuralink is more than playing games ‘telepathically’. He’s got plans for everyone.

for the working class and the poor. Taxes also makes society better, but the 1% doesn't give a shit about the unwashed or about society, they live in a bubble.

Billionaires and oligarchs have so much money, have so much privilege, that that have lost sight of what is precious.

So, some people at least believe there is no obligation to make people's lives better.

This is the Gilded Age all over again. Lots of new rich people, and lots and lots of poor people.

I totally agree with you.

If they can't help others, what use are they ? And why should their continued enrichment, or even existence, be tolerated ? Society cannot afford to keep supporting these self-indulgent narcissists, but they have purchased so many legislators -- and one political party outright -- that attempts to impose even moderate controls on their excesses are blocked.

Capitalism is not the answer here, nor is it really the problem -- it is the permissiveness of elected officials who kowtow to anyone who will fund their campaigns. Campaign finance reform has been deferred for too long.

Many conspiracy theorists believe that there is a secret cure for cancer, or a cheap energy source, or some other magical technology that the rich and powerful are keeping secret to themselves while the rest of the population suffers. Campaign finance reform is the one actual "secret cure" that is sitting on the shelf in plain sight, with those able to reach it declilning to use it.
