    If that is truly their plan, they are dumber than we fucking figured.

    If a billionaire wants to buy a swimming pool, he needs a considerable amount of other people to be able to afford swimming pools or it it becomes impossible for him to get one at all eventually.

    To have a swimming pool, there needs to be an industry of specialized labororers who can manufacture and install. There has to be electricians who specialize in mixing water and electricity. There has to be people working the factories where the chlorine gets manufactured and bottled.

    This is true for every product that billionaires consume. You really gotta think that these people with all this wealth would have people on the payroll pointing this out to them.

      Party officials in USSR kinda managed to keep such an industry for their nice things. It’s not as complex as computers.

      That is more of a millionaire problem. A billionaire can afford to fly the specialists and the materials in from Europe.
