Sometimes I think that all the world's major problems emerge from one single meta problem: The concentration of power.

Democracies trying to get rid of smoking for 3 decades and failing? Concentration of power in the tobacco industry.

Putin being able to invade Ukraine? Concentration of power around Putin.

Trump being reelected because Musk had $250 million to throw at it? Concentration of power around Musk.

Iran war? Concentration of power in The White House.

Etc., etc., etc.

@randahl Agreed but Musk threw $40B at Trump's reelection (with petrostate help).
