It all traces back to greed. One of the great lessons of my life was the crab fishery in Alaska. The fisherman were drowning and the federal government stepped in with regulation and you would have thought the communists had invaded. They screamed that they were being driven out of business….but they made plenty of money. And many lives were saved. Placing profits above human life is the key issue that gets covered up every time when billionaires and politicians combine to exploit and prey on the public.
The only hope is tax and regulate billionaires into oblivion. Or they will own everything and everyone.
