depends on what "the problem" is. so far your just saying the problem is someone is richer than thou. from the perspective of a subsistance farmer in Bangledesh, you are considerable richer, you're part of the problem too. whats the real problem concerning everyone here? what gets fixed when we take away all the concentrated wealth?This is exactly the nonsense that the mega rich want us to be saying.
Come on mate, you know the problem isn't people earning £65k in Surrey. The problem is when you have 300 people who combined have the wealth of an entire continent. In 2024, Elon Musk grew his wealth by over $6,000 PER SECOND. He is worth almost half a TRILLION at the moment. That's like the entire GDP of Norway.
We're entering the age of the megacorp, and half the bros in the world think that's a good thing. Yes, our governments have been crap for a decade or two, but do we really think it's better to have a handful of people controlling most of the free wealth?
