"Fuck you all, I'm going back to my cave."
Look at these wrinkled old scrotums. Each directly responsible for the downfall of America. Each palsied, spotted claw dipped in the misery of our better citizens.
If leadership is synonymous with accountability, then let the full weight of America's mighty stumbles rest on their backs. Let them stagger and carry it for the rest of history.
I agreed that they are the natural outcome, in the absence of effective regulation. Sans means without.
Capitalism inherently concentrates wealth, and as wealth concentrates, it builds upon itself while seeking out novel opportunities to deepen influence. We see this phenomenon in modern economic scenarios as individuals gain the ability to co-opt political forces, and create larger and larger wealth watersheds.
In other words, the existence of billionaires is a symptom of a broken system- one that has NOT effectively been regulated. They become monopolistic entities unto themselves. Billionaire brands then gain further leverage via network effects, creating a snowball that only government intervention can safely defuse. It doesn't matter if one billionaire is "good," nor one politician. As Edwards Deming famously said, "a bad system will beat a good person, every time."
Sure, sans regulation. The point of govt regulations is to ensure that platforms that control two sided markets are not given complete largesse to fleece the participants. It's ultimately a defeating strategy with diminishing returns, as both producers and consumers lack the necessary surplus required to participate AND to invest/reinvest resources toward long term growth. Another reason that stock buy-backs used to be illegal.
And obviously you can probably guess I believe they should be illegal again.

Warren lost any credibility in ~~2016~~ 2020. She shattered her legacy as fully as Biden is draggin his own name through a river of shit now.
Starting 40 years ago. They've been tripping over themselves to throat the Corporate dick for decades.
Easily 60%
Biden is trying to skate on his "Oh I'm an old grandpa looking figure, look at my creepy-ass smile."
As though people will forget how his actions (and inactions) curated the requirements for our current scenario. Including giving Harris a nearly impossible task, which she also managed to flub as hard as possible while lighting a BILLION dollars on fire.
The Abyss created the "liquid" CGI technology that was later used in Terminator 2, to make the liquid metal T-1000.
