how to control their security force. Wish I'd bookmarked the other one -- goes back a few years if my memory serves me.

Many of us have likely mused about this going on among the upper .001% for several or more years now. It's good to see it day-lighted. This is the absolute pinnacle of ego-centrism. Left in the hands of a very few -- the ego-centric billionaires, we are destined for social collapse and possibly extinction, perhaps in some of our own lifetimes. They simply have too much influence and control given their grotesque wealth and lust for more. I don't believe I will see that at my age, but it concerns me that my children may.

We can't let this happen. We can't let a relative few destroy the rest of us. Can we? I hope not.
