    In a word, corruption.

    In two words, legal corruption.

    In three words, blatant legal corruption.

    In four words, United States political system.

      Meh.

      1. This isn’t an America problem. People do this in every country

      2. This is capitalism not corruption

      For everyone here’s a fun thought experience. You have a room with 100 people. In that room is 100$. 1 person (Elon Musk let’s say) holds 95$. 4 people (let’s say various CEO class people) hold $1 each. The remaining 95 people share the remaining 1$.

      And yet here we are all fighting because some of our deluded asses think we are going to be one of those 5 people one day.
