Either way, should that person become unhinged, or is a bad person, they can do enormous damage to the world, unilaterally, or jeopardize democracy by bribery and influence, as the Koch brothers (buying Supreme court seats) and others (Trump, insurrection) have done.

Both bribery and insurrection are already illegal.

We are heading into feudalism. A few people hoard all the properties, companies and services. Antitrust laws are ignored, corruption is the norm. Student loans, medical bills and mortgage cripple common people without possibility to pay them off. People become economic vassals
