Everything about CEOs is like a monarchy. Wealth inheritance in business families like the Waltons? Just the capitalism version of royal heirs getting their throne. Presidents? They don’t run jackshit ever since money got into politics

America is back in the era of kings, and arguably a worse one

    Its worse now because by design, its tricky and secretive and they can kill us actively and we can’t touch them.

    I’ll go back to king days when you just needed a group of buddies with some arrows and a plot.

      The olde money / smart ones stay under the radar, but there are not that many of them and technology is making it hard to stay anonymous.

      Sure would be a shame if a bunch of poor people with nothing to lose started looking into those facts more deeply. You know, instead of burning down their own stuff and fighting militarized local law enforcement, go to the source.

      Work smarter not harder.
