DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Also, per the OP’s post, billionaires have been trying to fix the world for a long time.
They simply decided “democracy” was the best way to do it. Feed a man in a totalitarian regime a fish, you feed him for one day. Change said totalitarian regime to a democracy, you might create the conditions for self-sufficiency.
Thing is, it worked to an extent. As much as I love to bash the Rockefeller foundations, they did play a huge role in the Green Revolution. Alongside financing MK-ULTRA and all that ugly stuff.
The problem is when they start sealing themselves off from all feedback. The same ecosystem that created Green Revolution also created COVID gain-of-function research, supply chain destruction, and the cover-up.
Our problem isn’t that billionaires aren’t fixing problems; it’s that they’ve already been doing it in their little CFR club for a century.

Don’t have billions, but I’ve used what influence I have to put a few major wins on the board for 🇺🇸 this year.
The liberals and nutjobs hate me. That’s fine. But it’s this line of reasoning that’s cost me the most friendships with smart independents and Republican centrists.

I genuinely don't understand people like Bezos and Musk.
If I had billions of dollars, I would just start fixing everything. Homeless veterans sleeping on the streets? Not on my watch. Hungry children going to bed with empty stomachs? Hell no.
They could be making life better but instead choose to build spaceships and data centers to pump stocks and destroy the planet
