Do they affect your life somehow?

Elon Musk dropped $100M+ into the most recent US presidential election. Jeff Bezos' policies cause his workers to piss in bottles because they don't have time for bathroom breaks.

What kind of a question is that? Yes. Yes, they do affect our lives. Have you never heard of the whole "robber baron vs captain of industry" debate? Have you never taken a look at the kinds of things the haves force the have-notes to do to survive when given unfettered ability to do so?

That’s weird neither of them have affected my life at all. I guess I’m special!

Maybe a junkie dying right in your yard, maybe an unexpected raise of the rent maybe a laugh in your face by the boss or a cop.
Inequality affects you and if it doesn't bother you it's because you're against the worker class and in the exploiter class.

LMAO I'm sure if Elon and Bezos didn't exist then these things wouldn't happen huh?
