    Not to mention that a lot of negative societal consequences are created as a result of actions by the very wealthy, not just actions that happen to benefit the wealthy.

    Any time someone complains about drug use, or the violence stemming from it, thank the billionaires that funded it and paid money to avoid some of the consequences.

    Neo-nazis? I sure do hope that no billionaire buys a social media site and explicitly shifts its algorithm to display more neo-nazi and far right sentiment while bribing people to vote for a neo-nazi!

    Even a vast chunk of all crime in this country is going to be as a result of people’s poor material circumstances, caused by billionaires not paying enough to individuals and to social services. The majority of people shoplifting don’t do it because it’s fun, they do it because they don’t have food to eat.
