"Supervillains" are comic book entities who are rarely in prison
- dpark 10mo agoBecause they escape or cannot be captured. Not because there’s no will to lock them up. But this is really not my point. Billionaires == Supervillains is not a commonly held view outside some echo chambers.
- smegger001 10mo agoI dont know "billionaire realestate mogul and serial criminal gets elected president" is the quick bio of both Lex Luthor and Donald Trump. Larry Elision buying up Hawaiian islands sure looks like a Bond Villian if you squint a little.
- dpark 10mo agoBeing a billionaire seems to be a prerequisite for being a modern supervillain but most billionaires probably don’t qualify. There are 125 billionaires living in New York City alone. Batman is a billionaire too in comic lore.
