It does and has done so consistently throughout human history, so I do not believe this will be any different. I couldn't care less what the shared amount of money is because it some billionaire gets another million and I get a thousand, that means I win regardless of whether or not that increases the wealth differential.
- pinkyboy 3mo agoThis becomes substantially less true when the billionaires transform their money into political power.

- pinkyboy 2mo agoElon Musk cares that Elon Musk benefits from policies. He does not give a single solitary fuck about you. If you get lucky and your interests align, great. But Musk talks fairly openly about letting many humans die while a few rich elites thrive. And if you're posting on this website, you are not a rich elite.
