The talk about hubris is describing something real and happening today. Soon we will all feel it. This paragraph makes me feel a lttle ill

And as their fortunes have ballooned, so has their hubris. They see themselves as somehow better than the scum of Wall Street or the trolls in Houston or Detroit. It’s their intelligence, not just their money, that makes them the proper global rulers. In their contempt for the less cognitively gifted, they are waging what The Atlantic recently called “a war on stupid people.”

Also disturbing is the growing trend to hire non-Americans to work for as little as $5.00 an hour, and restrict their employment options.
