Fun fact: the first billionaire was Rockefeller. That probably won't surprise most people. He was THE oil baron after all. He had so much wealth that him and Carnegie tried to donate as much of their wealth to charity before they died. (They got scared by the French revolution and the giant wealth inequality that caused it.).
Anyway...... Even with Rockefeller donating and AFTER there was a progressive movement to break up the monopolies. He was out of the daily operations and just collecting a % of each broken up company. After all their terrible business dealings is when Rockefeller became a billionaire. Not because his business dealings, in spite of them. I'll say that again. HE GOT RICHER WHEN HE SHARED HIS WEALTH WITH A MIDDLE CLASS.
So yes, you are spot on.
I meant something else with that but I see what you saw and you comment is also spot on as well.
I mostly meant that once asshole conservatives finally just fucking stop being awful the left does not turn around and get revenge on them. Most of the time people are just so fucking tired of the bullshit that a massive criminal simply resigning a post and leaving everyone the fuck alone is enough even when they should, honestly, be prosecuted.
