Remember that crucial Atlantic ocean current system that helps keep Europe from freezing over? Scientists now say it's more likely to collapse than previously thought. But don't worry - the billionaire death cult steering humanity's destiny has declared existential crises so last season.
It's an old joke that bears repeating: the poor and middle pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers, and the ultra-rich pay politicians. The more money billionaires accumulate, the greater their control of the political system - which means they pay less tax, which means they accumulate more, which means their control intensifies. Rinse, repeat, watch the planet burn.
They reshape the world to suit their demands. One symptom of the pathology known as 'billionaire brain' is an inability to see beyond their own short-term gain. They would sack the planet for a few more stones on the pointless mountain of wealth. And we can see it happening. Last week delivered the biggest news of the year so far - perhaps the biggest news of the century. But because billionaires own most of the media, most people never heard it. We might find ourselves committed to a civilisation-ending event before we even learn such a thing is possible.
