The tragedy, though, is because of the way the very rich are embedded at the very top of political and economic power structures, they got away scott-free and are now more powerful than ever [1]. Their wealth is pure rent-extraction and they will happily consume and destroy every person and resource on this planet before they voluntarily surrender a single cent ("nu-philanthropy" notwithstanding). These are complicated political problems that I think the tech community cannot solve on it's own (and possibly lacks the language to even discuss sensibly).
