The thing about billionaires it that they could just stop. It's not a skin colour, it's not an ethnicity or even a religion.
If they wanted to they could redistribute the wealth. They could use their power to close the political doors they exploit.
Wouldn't even have to check themselves out, wouldn't even have to adopt some monastic lifestyle. But they would rather live in a world where they have lifetimes of obscene luxury at the expense of others. At a certain point you have to ask if causing suffering is part of their fun.
Is it a twist? It seems it's only shocking if you think the bible is a good guide to morality or you judge people by their words not their actions.
Remember when we were all laughing at George W Bush and the dumb shit he said? At least the fuck was concise rather than this embarrassment going on about how he used to tie an onion to his belt to scare off Mexicans or whatever he said.
You maybe not, your family? All your friends/coworkers/etc? Talk about scams with people, lots of people use PCs without knowing what is and isn't safe.
It's entirely possible that Bigfoot can walk like other people but whenever they notice someone filming them they try to act natural and it all goes to shit.

You'd think spies would be, but any look into the history of espionage shows that they are plenty fallible.

Thing is, this sign doesn't just help people come to the library wanting help with these things. It helps people in the library who are experiencing this and didn't know they could find a book to help them.
Hell some people don't even know they need help with these things until someone offers.
So normally you could test this on something you both know exists and have the location of...
Does that mean the CIA actually do have the ark in a secret warehouse in the care of top men?
I'm willing to allow that someone could have a change of heart after acquiring wealth, or can control of such wealth through inheritance.
I don't really care how such a realignment of thinking is achieved though. Be it force, visitation by three spirits, whatever. I guess my point is that as they have the capability to change but don't, which should inform our actions.
