I still cannot fathom the kind of selfish greedy blindness of billionaires, who are women, POC, or Jewish, & who still fund Trump's GOP.

@Npars01 @notwhatwethink There is a saying in Germany: "Your last attire has no pockets."

After having collected a certain amount of wealth, there is actually no need to collect even more. Particularly if it is more than you can ever spend in your entire life. And even if you want to provide better opportunities for your children, fortunes ranging in the billions of dollars are insane.

In fact, it's not about wealth anymore. It's about power. Billionaires are the new aristocrats!
