People making shit posts like this and the hopebait pretending there will magically be punishment and restoration "once this is all over" are part of the problem.
They want to talk like its a foregone conclusion that the evil will fail and the good will prosper, but history has shown us anything but this happening, and we've literally seen no signs that they won't continue getting exactly what they want with only mild delays and roadblocks.
Also, frankly, even if the Trump family was as wealthy as Trump claims. Or had as much physical cash as Elon has assets / investments. It would be a drop in the bucket.
Nations operate on scales that are orders of magnitude larger than any privately owned wealth. That's kind of the point. This would be like levying a $1000 fine for a billion dollars in damages and expecting it to "be fixed".
This isn't true, there are a few "old money" families that control international business. Morgan. Rothschild. Rockefeller. They have been acquiring wealth for centuries on a staggering scale. I'm reading about their manipulation of world war one now, it's disheartening.
None of them can compete with the Catholic church yet, but they're working on it.
I'm actually willing to believe that between all the bribes and scams they probably do have a lot of money now, but it's also going to be hidden in places that would be very hard to track down or impossible to retrieve (Russian Banks etc)
