That’s such a small number. I bet there might be one or two near you even. You can just Google it!
One time I saw NK Jemisen , author of the broken earth trilogy give a talk. Someone asked about climate change and she said something like “there’s only a small number of people responsible for most of this problem, and we know where they live”
The audience cheered and clapped. The guy moderating the talk got real flustered.
The audience cheered and clapped.
And that was the full sum of their efforts.
Just pretend it’s the 1800s when a settler can come in and destroy the local inhabitants- it’s called might makes right and now America grew. Just go in and take it. Manifest Destiny. Most of the maga crowd approved of the conquest and genocide./sarcasm

Hey btw I really wanna meet a rich fella in DC
Heard he like playing golf, we could hang out sometime, maybe I can teach him a bit of hunting 😏
Most of them are multi billionaires, their children will inherit their estates when they pass, and most have more than one child. Which means that, when they do pass, we’ll actually have more billionaires than we do now.
So we pass laws regarding inheritance.
Is it physically imposing to have body guards, inaccessible private residences, and having all law enforcement agencies specifically care about your wellbeing?
We still outnumbered them, vastly. Let’s say each one employs 100 body guards. That’s still 303000 against 5.5 billion (adult population).
And?
Organize, is the point they are driving at. We the people have the numbers to be literally unstoppable, the trick is getting all those people moving in the right direction.
The thing that annoys me the most is the amount of money it takes to protect their wealth.
Even if you factor out thngs like the police and the army, the money paid for private guards and security alone is in the hundreds of millions. Add in the accountants, lawyers, bankers, and associated finance gurus and you’ve got enough to make college free for everyone on Earth.
That about sums it up. They’ll spend a million to prevent giving a thousand to the poor.
And that goes for all of these fucking leeches: The beloved pop star. The legendary athlete. The really nice lady who gave away ten billion. The soft-spoken revered investment guru who cosplays as middle class.
Every damn one of them should be paying 100% in taxes over a billion dollars, but they never will. Their greed is a more important consideration than whether or not you can get health care.
100% over a billion
million
fine, I’ll settle for 10 million
There’s only one in my country AFAIK and he’s not even from here, just registered here for tax purposes.
Regardless, i would recognize him in the street. And I wouldn’t be the only one.
Might need to encourage that number back to 0.
