Yeah. It’s way worse than the gilded age, with no signs of improving. People are literally starving now.

    This deteriorating situation is coming in HOT. The oligarch may not have time to fully co-opt the military, in fact the actual foot soldiers in the military are caught up in the suffering.

    And yet he's still hoping everyone else would fix it rather than doing something useful with all that wealth

    He has "all that" wealth by our standards but by the standards of really influencing the system he doesnt have a pot to piss in. His net worth isnt widely available but assuming he is worth personally a quarter of a billion the most expensive apartment in Manhattan would leave him broke.

    He has more than he needs definitely and I do agree with your point, but to be a global power player millions doesnt even come close anymore.
