You're probably right. To them, we are ants digging an anthill in their backyard. Beneath notice. Midnight Writer Sep 1 #4

I can't wrap my head around the mindset of someone who hoards billions while others suffer from want.

Who wrings every dime out of working folks so they will have less and the billionaire will have more.

Who thinks owning 12 mansions and 4 yachts and 2 private jets is more important than other people's lives and welfare.

They have the luxury of tuning out anything that remotely causes them discomfort or unease. Hopefully these marches and protests will catch the attention of politicians. They need to be reminded that they work for us.

Wealth hoarding is an evil addiction. Billionaires are the true lazy welfare recipients in our society.

Unless we damage their ornamental garden, in which case they will spray us with pesticide.
