Stopping doing those things would mean stopping doing capitalism, and these people would rather we all die than that.

Have to realize they got high on the "we're the skilled, job creators" bullshit and truly believe it now.

Yeah but they would have to give up ruling the world and ruining your life for fun. And by spending a peanut negligible amount of money, they can still shield themselves from consequences? What would you do if you too were an overrich narcissist sadistic sociopath??
