    That’s because this is an insane claim.

    Consider that they have the power to massively improve everyone’s lives but are choosing not to.

    Perhaps they didn’t personally cause and create some of those problems, but they are still the only ones with the power to make the necessary changes, so the continuation of those problems is indeed their doing.

      In what way does the logistics revolution spurred by Amazon’s growth not massively benefit every person who buys anything in the US? You’re seriously suggesting with a straight face, that Microsoft hasn’t saved literally hundreds of millions of lives just in database tech alone?

      You’re talking out of your ass here man. Hell, you’re putting billionaires on par with running a government which is simply absurd.

          I think you don’t understand how government functions in any real way at all
