    As a planet, we have to address this issue of Sociopathic Oligarchs. It used to be that people would get rich enough to affect their own nation, but now we have people like Elon Musk, who are acting like their own personal country, and cutting personal deals with other nations, for his own benefit, with no regard for the nations themselves.

    Now the billionaires all have a new objective - to become trillionaires. That will allow them to literally enslave entire nations.

    After that, it is only a matter of time before multiple trillionaires form an alliance, and literally take over the world, with a world “government” that will simply be their own personal demands. We will ALL be slaves.

    We can’t just do it in our country, or they will set up shop somewhere else, and abuse us from a distance. This will take the entire planet agreeing that we have to reign in the power of trillionaires, and I don’t see how that happens, when nearly anyone can be turned by a billion dollar bribe.
