    I didn’t coin the term.

    Epstein class perfectly describes how they see themselves above laws and human decency. The world should never allow people to amass that much wealth.

      What’s the alternative though? Let everyone be above the law? Because, that just sounds like a recipe for more trouble.

        lol what’s the alternative? Tax the shit out of them. That amount of wealth is a danger to every democracy and the planet.

          i’m not 100% sure, but i think they meant alternative to the cops, not the wealthy

          @capital_sniff@lemmy.world which, i mean. police the police or something. not to mention the system needs so many reforms in general

        It’s ironic how your first thought is not to make them accountable in front of the law just like everyone else.
