Even Thiel himself admitted exactly this. He helped justify the bankrolling of Hogan's lawsuit by saying "single-digit millionaires" have no access to the legal system. The more money you have the more power you have. It isn't a binary rich/poor.

It's true. It's ironic that he proved the rule by proving that double digit millionaires too can effectively be locked out of the legal system by those with greater financial might. After all, are you really justifying the illegitimacy of the system if all you accomplish is merely swapping the places of who is destroyed?

So if I provide one example of a double digit millionaire beating a billionaire in a lawsuit will you take back this claim? We’d have to go to data then, do you have that data?

I wouldn't take back the claim, but I would chuckle a bit.

The plural of data is not necessarily a narrative. I would ask you to try again, this time without deliberately ignoring the thread and misreading it.

Yea, you’re the one with head in sand then.
