    That 12 billion could have gone to health care, helping the homeless, improving schools, for research into diseases, into renewable energy sources or into making affordable houses.

    But this is what we get.

    All that money, and he does nothing of value for society. At least the OG evil rich guys of the 1900s did charitable things sometimes.

          It was balanced out by the companies shooting protesters who wanted better treatment and livable wages.

    Wages for workers are the biggest line item for most companies. Owners hates it because that money is theirs, by golly. The concept of being part of an economy never enters their stream of consciousness, only the desire to optimize sucking money out of it.

      What they don’t realize is once they drive the unemployment rate up super high, they’re gonna have an angry mob busting down their door looking to eat them.
