Absolutely this. This sort of wealth hoarding is creating billionaire monsters with messianic visions of themselves who are above the law and want to own enslave humanity’s future to their will forever (cf: extremist longtermism)
It sounds like outrageous, sci-fi, bond villain stuff and it is. These are not Gods or visionary humans. They’re emotionally damaged assholes.

They unleash the scammers and then go on conservative radio channels to sell identity theft protection.

Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich Blasts 'Pathetic' Trump In Explosive Takedown
Popovich, who described the former president as a “small” and “damaged man,” called out Republicans for supporting him while knowing “he’s an ass.”
“They’ve called him xenophobic, a religious bigot, a racist, unfit for office, on and on and on. Their words but they’re right there with him."
I’m not talking about a policy, I’m talking about the idea of our country.”
With my wife's current medical issues, and my current medical issues, we can't afford to let existing screening software police our email and phones. Too many medical calls are being blocked or tagged as spam/junk.
So we've had to largely disable screening and take EVERY call. The result is a tidal wave of scams, and spam, trying to screw us out of our retirement money and Medicare coverage. Everything from bots to boiler rooms in Mumbai,
I fully blame GOP deregulation for this,

Nine days to go, before the current madness ends, and a whole new madness commences. #VoteFuckingBlue
So, a little diversion. When Kamala becomes Madame President there's something I'd like to see. I'd like to see the FCC turned into an Incredible Hulk version of itself on the issue of spammers and scammers, both email and phone. With ruthless bloodthirsty enforcement.

Judge blocks sweep of homeless camps before New Orleans Taylor Swift shows
The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by unhoused people who were subject to the sweep. In legal filings, they argued that state troopers violated their constitutional rights by illegally searching, seizing and destroying their property, disposing of their prized possessions and “forcibly herding” them away.

Guys, I'm off of here for tonight. I'm beat. My wife is undergoing radiation AND chemo now....and we're dog-sitting our grand-fur-babies....who do not get along with our own fur babies. The means we've sectioned off the house (an old duplex which makes it easier) With my wife sleeping on one side, with my son's pups, and me and our kids on the other. One connecting doorway. Tedious to say the least.
So, as a goodnight, this is the song I want to hear on election night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhmcqe2L1YE

It's happening. Women are turning up in vast numbers. This is no poll. These are actual votes with a sample size of millions. #RoeMakesTheDifference

It’s how they got their wealth.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
You can count the number of one percenters that epitomize that statement on one hand, with fingers left over.
99% of billionaires are, for the most part, utterly irresponsible with their power, and proud of it.
