Yeah, just talked to my wife about this. Imagine what good someone with Musks resources could do. Instead he chooses to go pull up the ladder behind him and making life more difficult for everyone

Musks resources could do.

That's the thing. That's an oxymoron. One can't have musks resources and be a good person. To get such resources, one has, by design, to be the kind of person who thrives in Capitalism. Evil.

And that's why politican salaries should be caped. Everyone can be corrupted, even if they started good.

And income in general to see briebs, stocks etc.

Maybe people can be corrupted. But I think it’s selection biases. If you’re the type of person to fuck people over to earn money (big buisness) or to seek power above others (politics), maybe you were corrupted in the first place? I mean it’s hard to make it in either of those without doing a lot of morally questionable stuff.
