Let’s try number of billionaires per capita instead of a flat number of billionaires.

Interestingly enough I went to a lecture by a Chinese lawmaker yesterday who said the exact same thing. When it’s codified in law, you know what they can and can’t do, and what they can and can’t use in court against you. When governments just do it covertly and subvert due process, your right to privacy suffers a lot more. She didn’t have to point out what Snowden uncovered about the NSA for everyone to know what she was referring to.

Yeah same. I was there, and seeing what was happening and what was being reported was a huge WTF experience

I wonder if there’s going to be some sort of culture crisis across The West when reality hits, or if Western media is strong enough to distract everyone with something new like they did with Afghanistan.

the ultimate destination of neoliberal thought, where every employer is an unregulated sovereign into themselves.

Refined it for ya, comrade
