  1. I am tuning in from across the world and what I can tell you is that you are putting wealthy people in a box, a zoo oron display as air heads dreaming of how to spend their millions on the next best thing to save themselves when the world caves in. As a potential billionaire---I am joking of course---aren't we all potentially rich or something? What we must not do is judge and classify people in any sort of way. All plumbers wear blue socks! No; they don't, my uncle wears thongs. Joke. Give us a break! Billionaires are not the problem, what they have done is work the system to perfection. Capitalism is a tool for many to live in a never-never land by getting enough dough to be able to live in their own grid. We have to realize that we are using an economic model that was allegedly put into place in 1694 when The Bank of England issued the first bonds. Yes; that's right, we are using an economic system in the digital age that is more than 3 centuries old and it is a system one could say is feudalism on steroids. To recap: It's not the billionaires who are at fault; it's the economic system that produces them and that has made our world into a place where America is being run by one-man-bands. Mark Zukerberg owns What's App, Threads---his new challenge to Twitter---Instagram and Facebook. He's got the bases covered. Musk has a space command, car company and Twitter. Bezos has a delivery service, newspapers and a space command. Capitalism has made fools of us because it ends up that only a few people end up setting the narrative for the rest of us. This is not their fault; they are doing what capitalism was designed to do: have the world run by a select few while sprinkling bread crumbs to the tranquilized masses. What is my point? We need a new economic system: I have written a book called The Treatise of Teknomix, with a proposed economic model to be tinkered with by economists to perhaps wean us off the capitalist model that is clearly meant to be in the rubbish heap of history.
