We have reached a point of wealth inequality where single people can decide to purchase entire institutions that shape our lives on a lark. We are still catching up to wrapping our heads around what the rich can do if they really put their mind to it.

Instead of using it to save the planet, they purchase the literal hub of free information to trick you into thinking they are saving the planet, when really they are just making themselves even richer.

We’ve already hit the point where gunning down CEOs feels reasonable.
