You can’t reign them in when the reigns are for purchase
You can’t prevent them from purchasing the reigns because when the price tag is big enough, everything is for sale
You can’t stop them from purchasing reigns altogether because they’ll go to a different market who can, then force the market to be open to them
They will do everything in their power to KEEP their power, and to prevent them from EVER LOSING their power
There IS ONLY ONE WAY to stop billionaires from having power and it is to stop them from being billionaires in any way available
There’s no solving climate change until we’ve solved billionaires.
I think reining them in is enough. We can habe billionaires in a green economy.
I totally agree that billionaires should not exist, but I think climate change is more important and we shouldn’t lose sight of that.

The planes in Spain fall in the rain

Yeah and it’s easier to transition to clean energy, mitigating their output, than it is to remove them.
Consider how much easier it would be without them though
Yeah but consider how difficult it is to remove them.
Difficult in what way?
Is that a serious question?
Nah, buying a Tesla, a Porsche Taycan or a Volvo XC90 hybrid will solve the climate crisis. Trust me. Some guy on another thread told me.
There’s no “solving” climate change.
Ah, yes, lets put the climate crisis on hold
