If there is anything worse than the tyranny of greed, it is the tyranny of a machine that's trying to optimize you 24/7.

The billionaire class don't want universal childcare, they don't want medicare for all, they don't want a public jobs program, they don't want a welfare state, and they sure as fuck don't want to be told no.

I'm failing to see how caring about billionaires is suppose to help everyone else. The current American society, via neoliberal economics, is already optimized to help the billionaires (hence why they extract all the wealth and why income inequality is at its highest in the US since ever).

		read "optimize the billionaire class" as "trim the fat."
