    Know-how is mostly a common inheritance of all humanity. The billionaires are simply people who take more than their fair share. They are pleonetics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonexia #oligarchy #filthyrich #vampires #democracy

  7. Oligarchs and plutocrats are financing those who are happy to dump on Habeas Corpus, so are taking us back to a time before the Magna Carta. The #resistance exists to make sure they and their quislings fail! Is it not time for them to know what real fear is like? #FascistFear

"…to many, the biggest A.I. labs now loom like the new faces of American #oligarchy, as well — a fearsome concentration of economic and social power producing a self-compounding pattern of extreme #inequality of the kind that has lacerated American life for decades. If the #future lies with #AI, as we are so often told, it is unsettling to many and outrageous to some that so few people seem to stand in such absolute control of it."

    Six months ago #oligarchs were bellowing their intent to up-sticks from #NYC and get as far away as possible from the #MetGala should #Mamdami get elected. I’m sure some will leave in a snit, but I’m yet to see any reportage that aligns with last year’s #billionaire bluster

    For those that choose to stay and don’t want to pay taxes on their luxe apartments, selling is always an option. Proceeds can be rolled into hotel stays instead. This is not complex

  16. Pluralistic: Trump's fruitless search for a goreable ox (09 May 2026)

    pluralistic.net/2026/05/09/cos

    > I've got good news and bad news for Trump. The good news: you can get elected by promising to do something about the cost of living crisis, and the president actually has a lot of ways to improve people's daily costs. The bad news: everything you could do to fix working people's cost of living will make an oligarch worse off.

    Inequality and Inequity both have sharply increased the gulf between the wealthy and the rest of us. This is especially so since the mid-70s and the crazy notion that markets self-regulate and wealth trickles down from the top (how did we ever get hoodwinked into believing this shit?)

    Now, the whole economic edifice is shaking from its foundations and the #oligarchy is lost to the rest of humanity (just as scrooge was to his family). You all know what comes next don’t you…? Scrooge was ‘saved’ but that’s fairy tale stuff, our reality is much less forgiving.
