It’s Time to Hold American Elites Accountable for Their Abuses

There are many more people who would like to enter the 'Tonnaires' than there are who consider Millionaire or Billionaire status a worthwhile goal. And as far as I can tell anything beyond a few ton doesn't significantly increase happiness.

From my perspective there's no reason to value the ability to become a 'self-made' billionaire if it leaves more of the 'precariat', and I prefer a society that reduces the number of people that are part of it.

I agree with you that this would be a more pleasant society for the majority, which would be a good thing.

Unfortunately i think that the more "unfair" society would be more dominant and will outcompete it over time, thereby making it worse.

So i think in the end some unfairness will isnecessary, but maybe less then we have today
