We have been shown a productive way to deal with such oligarchs.

The adjuster
I’m guessing closer to home (something about an oversized apple).
He's aware, that's why he's suddenly around his kid all the time he's in public.
Weird faces and hair plugs.
He is a very weird guy.
True - and I think that drove a lot of his early popularity. His entire head is unfortunate and his name seems like a cruel joke. He embraced nerd things that are relative to my interests. Basic empathy and compassion kick in when you see something like that. From a first impression, he just seemed to have been dealt poor hand in life.
Then he started talking. Damn.
Perhaps from a first impression, until you find out that the poor hand he was dealt was an emerald mine inheritance.
Right? I think that gave him a reverse Uno card of some kind. Hmmm. That did seem to smooth over some things.
The US is already an oligarchy, we're just getting closer to making it official.
My read is slightly different. Yes it’s been that way, but the working class is realizing it doesn’t work for them.
Seriously, at what point is it ever enough? In theory, this guy could amass a trillion dollars if he were to compound what he already has.
But after the first billion, how much more fucking money do you need?
I'm pretty sure after you collect more money than you know what to do with, the flunkies you pay to yes-man you and take care of your needs is not enough. You start needing power and being worshiped. You've convinced yourself you're a genius so you ought to be in charge of the universe because you're so damn brilliant. You have a vision for the world and use your vast amounts of money to position yourself to achieve it. It's entirely onanistic; you don't know or care how your vision will actually affect people and economics, because you're so convinced your plan is perfect - if course it is, it's yours, right?
Why don't the more powerful demos simply eat the oligarch?
Because they are the oligarchy
The time for these articles was before the world's richest man was able to buy the presidency.
