The gated compound with its own private security services
Private health care
Private education
Perhaps helicopters and private jets so not even the public roads have to be used except when strictly necessary
It's just wilful blindness, isn't it?
Tech wouldn't exist without public funding (much of it military, I believe?).
It was depressing seeing how many people reacted to Bezos tossing 100 million to the homeless with gratitude. So easily manipulated. I myself felt that gratitude briefly. I thought "oh that's nice, he's changed his attitude".
We should kill them and distribute their ill gotten gains and nationalise or break up their companies. That's my opinion.
I think you have to acknowledge how extraordinary it is to build a company as large as Amazon or even just to accumulate as much wealth as a Warren Buffet. There is something superhuman about it. Leaving aside all ethical considerations. Much like becoming famous it's something millions dream of and only a handful of people achieve. They are special, in that regard if no other.
The thing about the mega rich that allows the imagination space to roam is what that kind of wealth would allow you to do.
