I also love how in comics and movies billionaires use their wealth to build cars, motorcycles, jets, boats and equipment to fight crime and go after bad guys ... they also train in martial arts, take care of their body, physical enhancements in order to become bigger, stronger, faster.
But in real all we get is a bunch of aging billionaires who hide in obscurity in big mansions, no one ever knows what they do, and the only time we hear from them is when they announce that they've made more money ... they also associate themselves with fascists and authoritarians and don't show any empathy for anyone ... meanwhile, the world becomes more and more corrupt because no one is fighting crime.
What I'm learning about Trump is that my perceptions of "fuck you" money are warped. I figured anybody with that amount of money would be able to say "yes" and "no" to things that they agree with and all that. Tech bros bended the knee ahead of time in anticipation of this farce. However, at the current time it's absolutely insanity and they're keeping mum on the subject. They all have so "fuck you" money that they'll never run out of "fucks" to give but they won't change at all.
I guess maybe they're all inherently evil to begin with and they're getting exactly what they want so there's no reason to say "fuck you"
