Gary’s work has been hugely important to me personally as I feel like this was one of the key pieces of the puzzle that I had danced around but never quite gotten into place. This is at the root of many of our modern problems from falling living standards, rise of the far right, etc. Once someone’s fortune is large enough it becomes a self-sustaining phenomenon like a black hole that has unchecked growth.

The ultra wealthy generally didn’t get that way by being easy to take down. They’re expert manipulators who have figured out how to beat back and turn around any attacks made easy-to-understand for the general populace. They are devious, and require equally devious thinking to outwit.
i wish him a long, restful holiday. it is well deserved.
Only take on the burden you can handle.
Thanks Christ.
