Billionaires...

  • don't live next to normal people
  • don't work next to normal people
  • don't commute/travel next to normal people
  • don't eat next to normal people
  • don't shop next to normal people
  • don't sweat next to normal people

They could not be further removed from the reality of their kingdoms below, unless they were on Mars.

Think about it. The billionaires and the wannabes are all part of the same system.

Just because someone is angry with the symptoms doesn't mean they don't undertand the underlying disease.

Missles are inanimate, directionless and while they have the capacity for harm, they won't act autonomously without the structure that propels them at victims.
