I can simplify all of that for you. The core bottom of the rabbit hole cause is that detrimental things are profitable for the ruling class, which is inverse of a positive or universally desirable outcome, and that has only gotten exponentially worse over time. So, making things like costs of wars, crime, foreseeable natural disasters, drugs, immigration, inflation, deficits/national debt, etc all the financial responsibility of those who profit from these things and are responsible for the outcomes; would immediately stop things like the kinds of wildly disproportionate CEO pay, because it would stop "money printing", which would end deficits, which would end national debt piling higher, which was used to inflate corporations and make "buy-backs" and which would have turned off the need for immigrants to undermine the salaries of workers in order to turn the delta in to profits and executive bonuses. It's not even really that hard, it's basically just a derivative chain that is getting out of hand and will likely cause the collapse of the USA because it has even been driving all the accumulating and overshadowing geopolitical issues. Do you think we would be in the Ukraine trying to ankle bite Russia and bleeding ourselves dry if the ruling classes were suffering massive costs for their little 2014 regime change consequences adventure, rather than making massive corrupt and plundering profits and gains?
Think we would have invaded Iraq if it had cost the ruling class $5 Trillion dollars of their wealth? Or Afghanistan for another $5 Trillion? Do you think that 9/11 would have even happened if listening and acting on all the warnings preceding the event would have meant costing them another $10 trillion of their wealth? Would the housing cricsis have happened? Would they have pushed the "target 2% inflation" and would the inflation be "transitory" if it had cost them, effectively all their wealth they accumulated only through that inflation and deficit spending and national debt accumulation?
It always frustrates me that people cannot understand that the things they support on one hand that makes them feel virtuous (I won't even mention one because peopel can't handle having their delusion pierced), are exactly the things that empower the things they are opposed to on the other hand.
We cannot solve "500x what the avg worker at the company makes" without even really understanding the black box that you get immediate aggression in response to even suggesting we maybe open up and take a look.
There are so many sacred golden calfs that people will defend to their proverbial or even literal death; all the while lamenting the things their golden calf causes.
