      Exactly. Our problems stem from ordinary people, most of whom either protect and fund the billionaires or actively revere them.

      What fraction of Americans want to end factory farming? How many want to disincentivize car use or even - heaven forbid - raise gas prices? Almost no one. The average person on this planet is a selfish shortsighted monster.
