Essentially it is one billionaire against a dozen billionaires.

One billionaire with all the high-tech toys in the world. He could easily bug all these billionaires and expose them. It seems to me that if he wanted real lasting change, they'd be his primary targets. Sure, occasionally there's a storyline like that, but it's rare.

If you want to stay rich, you don't fuck with the other rich people

Which is one of the most corrupt points of view you can have. Is staying rich so important to Batman that he'll turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of the other rich people?

It's basically the corrupt effective altruist playbook. Sure, I could help with these issues, but I can most effectively fix the world if I'm ultra rich, so my focus is going to be becoming / staying ultra rich, then I'll do a bit of charity on the side.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
