Today the boss admits concerns about their power. I'm struggling to see what he says other than the message:
As people criticise our power, let me tell you how much we believe in ourselves.
That won't fly

I will always have a special spot for Bill Gates. He did a lot to help small libraries come into the internet age by funding the equipment and training for small public libraries at a time when we really needed it. He and Melinda both continually give for the betterment of the world & humanity.

With all the news, I remembered this episode I heard a while back, "The New Gilded Age". It relates to and the , and outlines the history and evolution of American .

It's 50 minutes, but please consider giving it a listen. Great background on how we got to where we are.

My takeaway is that billionaires, philanthropy, and are anti-democratic.

@YourAnonNews While all this is true, ummm Bill Gates does relatively little philanthropy and the is just a 5d chess move for money laundering. All billionaires are evil.
