    I was writing that it’s not a bad price to pay to establish a feudal system where you’re part of the oligarchy, but honestly, what do they need more than they already have? The current system gave them everything they could ever wish to obtain.

      These people have an illness. They wouldn’t be billionaires if they didn’t have an all-consuming desire to obtain and hoard wealth and power at all costs.

      They still have people that can say no to them, their workers can quit, they need to deal with consumers boycotting their products.

      Globally, China is rapidly catching up to and surpassing Americans in more and more industries, and they need to protect their status.

      Nothing is enough for them.

          We could oblige and give them an end and the nothing that would finally satisfy them :)
