    But at least the billionaires are thriving.

    If the loud ones (e.g. Elon) are any indication, I don’t really think this is true either.

      Elon isnt doing badly because of the economy, hes doing badly because hes a moron. Most billionaires arent “struggling” to grow their wealth.

        I agree with your point and also don’t really care how they’re handling having obscene wealth and untold power over everyone else, I just think it’s worth pointing out that giving these rich assholes exactly what they want doesn’t make them happier either. It’s a losing situation all around (though obviously more for people on the bottom).
