>Tech billionaires are all licking the boot

I never understood that. What is the point of amassing all that money and power if you have to grovel to terrible people?

Are you familiar of the parable of the Monk and the Minister? It goes something like this:

Two close friends grow up and part ways. One becomes a monk, the other one becomes a minister to the king.

Many years later they meet again.

As they catch up, the minister, wearing fancy clothes, pities on the homely monk. Trying to help, he says: "You know, if you could learn to cater to the king you wouldn't have to live on rice and beans."

To which the monk replies: "If you could learn to live on rice and beans you wouldn't have to cater to the king!"

I was told that the billionaires run the goverment, so I don't know what you are talking about.
