How many presidents have held onto power in the US history?
Monarchies have a history of getting taken down (in terms of power). They held an absolute power and a tight grip.
You could see money as a proxy for power, but that's only true as long as it's scarce and you can buy real power with it.
I've been a follower of your thinking patterns regarding 2) for a long time.
Life will be easier, no questions. But that's different question from the mental health one. Feeling useless is a pretty shitty feeling and a primer for depression.
- code_lettuce 4y ago> How many presidents have held onto power in the US history? I see the point you're driving at but the democratic institution of the US has explicit guard rails against this. We force presidents to step down because we _know_ that voluntary relinquishing of power is unlikely. I do see money as a proxy for power. If you make enough of it you can influence public opinion, enrich or destroy education, buy twitter, etc.
