    Dunno, that’s like saying every gun owner is a sandy hook shooter

    No. That’s ridiculous. He’s the 5th or so richest person in the entire world. He’s also most likely the richest person in the world whose fortune is based almost exclusively on the stock market.

    To pretend that he’s only a small part of the problem is profoundly ignorant at best, and deliberate disinformation at worst.

    There’s plenty of problems that need solving, you take them in order of prioritization

    And HE’S one of the biggest one. Yes, him personally!

    Equating them all is stupid.

    As is pretending that a member of a minority of 5 people is equivalent to a plurality of perhaps a hundred million people or more.

    If I’ve got enough hammer and nails to fix one thing, I’m going to fix the biggest problem I can.

    You need to get more nails and get to him perhaps not first, but EARLY.

    To act without prioritization

    Again with the absurd insistence that there’s nothing special about his unfathomably vast dragon’s hoard and how he achieves and maintains it.

    You seem to have ABSOLUTELY no clue how rich he is or how much he contributes to the financial system being deliberately skewed in favor of himself, people like him, and hedge funds like his.

    You solve enough high priority problems

    Such as Warren fucking Buffet!

      So you are saying Warren Buffet is of the same threat level as Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg? If so, substantiate the claim. You said I have no clue, so tell me, what DIRECT actions and/or consequences has Buffet precipitated that puts him on their level? Don’t speak in vague generalities. I can point to specific things like Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon where those guys are very actively using with extreme, direct, and negative impacts on society. Buffet basically sits at a desk reading news and buys and sells stocks based on what he thinks. The other three are looking for active policy level control and manipulation of public discourse.
