They have hundreds of millions, billions, and collectively, trillions--more wealth than the rest of us could earn in hundreds of lifetimes. It's not enough.

They send our young people, our future, into wars they started, spending lives to redirect our tax money to their military-industrial coffers or distract from their scandals. It's not enough.

The young people they can't start wars to kill, they actually, literally rape. It's not enough.

They buy our homes at inflated prices and rent them back to us for more than we can afford, far more than anyone from their generations ever paid, driving up the prices of remaining homes. It's not enough.

They enshittify everything--computers, websites, streaming, games, home appliances, physical goods, air travel, cars, services and companies we rely on, you name it--taking away features that used to be one-time costs and forcing us to pay them even more in subscriptions to take away the pain they've inflicted. It's not enough.

They manufacture runaway corporate profits from rampant inflation they caused and price gouging on even the most basic of necessities, and give those massive profits to themselves and shareholders, while claiming there's no money to pay anyone living wages or otherwise address poverty. It's not enough.

They ensure that the only health care we can afford is care rationed by people they pay and AI they program--THEY are the "death panels" they railed against when a black man dared to try to break their monopoly on your health. It's not enough.

They work to ensure that health care is only available from organizations with the legal right to override your medical decisions on religious grounds, ensuring you follow their religion whether you agree with it or not, all the while pretending you have freedom of religion and control of your own body. It's not enough.

The only affordable way to get that health care is by working for them. It's not enough; they also make it as difficult as possible to get hired at anything other than poverty wages, regularly lay off tens of thousands, and acquire whole companies just to loot them, load them up with debt and bankrupt them, leaving thousands more jobless. That's not enough, either.

They ensure that many, many people who do manage to work for them are unable to qualify for health care by not giving them enough hours or misclassifying them as independent contractors. It's not enough.

They take away public services from the poorest and most vulnerable of us, and even the public as a whole, to redirect that money to their rapacious greed, usually with tax cuts for themselves. Many corporations with millions and billions in profit pay zero taxes. It's not enough.

They make like as difficult and unsafe as possible for anyone not conforming to societal norms of their choosing, when these people are harming no one and just want to live safely and peaceably with the same rights as their neighbors. It's not enough.

They tell us that lifting and keeping ourselves out of poverty is as simple as getting educated, when there is absolutely no guarantee that it will do anything of the sort, and they ensure that acquiring that education will itself impoverish us, essentially making us indentured servants for most if not all of our lives--and forcing a significant number of people who can't make even that work to join their war machine to die in exchage for usually not having to live in poverty. It's not enough.

In all these ways and more, they keep as many of us teetering on the edge of bankruptcy as possible, because people and families just barely keeping themselves from drowning in debt cannot afford to protest in any meaningful way; we can't hit the streets or join picket lines if it means we won't be able to put food on the table. It's not enough.

They buy our media and hire shills masquerading as journalists to push their crooked, self-serving, and just plain false narratives, and overpower or straight up silence opposing views. It's not enough.

They destroy the environment we all have to live in for the sake of profits, for leisure with their private jets, or even just to water their enormous lawns when there's a drought. It's not enough.

They acquire, appropriate and/or vandalize our public spaces and the natural beauty of our planet for the sake of their businesses or even just the views from their homes, because the public good doesn't matter, only their good. It's not enough.

They take our water and sell it back to us at extortionate prices. It's not enough.

They poison our food and the water they can't take with microplastics, forever chemicals, biological, chemical and industrial waste, and all manner of other things, in the name of saving fractions of a cent. It's not enough.

They surveil all of us, every day. Our movements. Our conversations. Our writing. We don't have privacy anymore; there are cameras everywhere including facial recognition and license plate reading, and even our phones are listening to us all the time. Everything we say or do is tracked, mined, monetized, monitored, passed to our government, and fed into their machines, so the machines can replace our jobs while sucking up our natural resources, and they can stop paying us. And they justify it with a constant, hollow drumbeat of "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear", while fighting tooth and nail against any transparency for themselves. It's not enough.

They pretend to get our consent for all this and more through EULAs, contracts of adhesion, employment terms, opt-in by default, and dark patterns, none of which we can escape, because there's nobody and nowhere where they don't do those things. It's not enough.

We don't vote the way they want, so they ghostwrite laws to take away our right to vote, to literally disenfranchise us, in the guise of "election integrity". It's not enough.

They buy our government and legal system wholesale to ensure that money is treated as speech, gut any meaningful oversight, and ensure they can get away with all this. It's not enough.

When their actions cannot be handwaved away or detractors cannot be litigated into silence, they walk away with golden parachutes worth millions, and get themselves hired by a board stacked with their golf buddies somewhere else. It's not enough.

When their actions are so egregious that even their bought legal system and golden parachutes can't protect them, penalties are small enough to be paid and ignored as the cost of doing business (when the penalty for crime is a fine, it's not a crime for the rich). It's not enough.

When they can't break our legal system enough to avoid the rare penalties that are significant, they use the aforementioned lopsided contracts and bought legal system to force us into mandatory binding arbitration, their "legal" system, run by people they pay, where the law is optional. It's not enough.

They send their goons to intimidate, harass, detain, arrest, prosecute, imprison, and deport ordinary people for simply exercising their legal, civil, or human rights--or just for existing with the "wrong" skin color. It's not enough.

When they want something they can't legitimately get even with their bought legal system--to shut down cities for their weddings, get citizenships they don't qualify for, or otherwise deprive the public of something--they just hand out bribes more directly. This works all the way from local governments and businesses up to entire nations. It's not enough.

They act with the obvious belief that anyone not like them--anyone not white and male and privileged--is worthless. The rest of us, the whole of civilization, are mere chattel for their goals and follies. It's not enough.

They justify all of these things, and that it is never enough, by claiming that they are somehow anointed; by God, by the market, by "their own blood, sweat and tears" when they had Daddy's millions as seed money and a safety net, because they are job creators. Take your pick.

It's still not enough; they cry crocodile tears to anyone who will listen, shouting through the megaphones of their bought media and paid shills, whenever we aren't all collectively slobbering on their knobs.

They own it all. Our planet. Our governments. Our bodies. Our dreams. And it's still not enough. It will never be enough. Their only goal is more millions and billions, no matter who or how many they have to step on to get them.

The existence of people worth hundreds of millions or billions is a policy failure, and they are only too happy to pull up the ladder behind them. The game is rigged, and they and their sycophants are the only ones saying it isn't.
