My mom is 80. I don't want her to die in agony, lungs ravaged, suffocating slowly.
This isn't about numbers for me.
Distinguish between wealth and paperwork. As Bucky Fuller pointed out, if all the paperwork disappeared overnight we would have a hellofa fight over who owns what, but no one would (necessarily) starve. If the wealth itself disappeared: the factories, the distribution networks, and so on, we would be screwed.
In the situation today the physical basis of wealth is not under attack, the "human capital" is.
Nevermind the Goddamned paperwork. Save the lives.
