Billionaires Are Buying Everything, Including Free Speech
Their utopia is your dystopia.
They say money can’t buy you love or happiness, but the world’s billionaires don’t care. They’re not interested in that.
They only want one thing:
Power.
Money can buy you plenty of that. There’s one common thread in most of the popular dystopian novels and movies out there, whether we’re talking about Blade Runner or The Hunger Games.
It’s not the end of the world.
It’s rich people.
Billionaires are buying our happiness.
The super rich are using their money to buy all the power, and all the means to happiness. If they can’t buy happiness, they want to control ours as much as they possibly can. We can’t get anything for free anymore. We pay for everything from healthcare to the water we drink.
It’s getting worse.
Our politicians have crushed public goods and services. They’ve been defunding everything from schools to the post office, all in order to replace them with their own private alternatives. The only thing they won’t defund is the police, who exist to protect rich people’s property.
