Such statements confuse me. Let’s go point by point on this:
1. How does one “buy” a government? With bond purchases? With campaign contributions? With voter fraud? And in the chosen case, what powers would they gain to “fix their habitat”?
2. Which valley “gazillionaire” is actively spending money in any way that doesn’t align with progressive politics and larger stronger less-accountable government? For the purposes of this question, anybody invested in Palantir is ineligible.
3. What “their way” would a strong government be “in”? What specific harm to whom are you suggesting?
4. If they have infinite power over government, why do you think they would be happy to have it “out of their way” versus active assistance?
5. If we observe that “the government” is quite powerful at the present moment, then how do you resolve the contradiction. Are they wasting their money?
