Say you’re on a yacht with your principal and they had a few tequilas, and then they’re like, “Oh, come on. Join us.” Ultimately, you have to remember that you are there because they’re paying you. It’s a job. They’re not your friend. Obviously, you need to share compassion and empathy. Sometimes your boss needs you to be a shoulder to cry on.

Its not about dividing their wealth. Its about the material conditions created by serving and propping up their extreme wealth. How many government subsidies do these elites consume? Would we even have a car dependent infrastructure nation wide? The true cost of a society being extremely stratified as ours is compounded and obfuscated.

Well, if it's impossible to measure there's not much point arguing about it. The other rhetorical questions I can actually address.

How many government subsidies do these elites consume?

Knowing what government budgets look like, I'm going to guess some, but not a game-changing amount. Most of their money comes from their money.

Would we even have a car dependent infrastructure nation wide?

Probably. Before cars there was a lot of rail barons, so it's not like they needed that to stay rich. As far as I can tell that sort of urban plan was a stupid idea that had broad currency in the midcentury.

You can be sure that everyone possessing more than a 100 million has a skeleton in the cupboard.

People have literally won that much from lottery tickets.

As far as I can tell billionaires do the same thing in a more complicated way, and then claim it was because of their genius and not chance. Even the ex-Soviet oligarchs had the same probability of going out a window as their late rivals did.
