Oh it's beyond ridiculous. The proles who continue to defend billionaires will use insane justifications as to why these leeches deserve their wealth.

But, I think the extreme inequality as definitely nearing its boiling point. The whole thing with Luigi and the UHC CEO made it quite clear just how fed up many, many people are. Unfortunately, with Trump and other shitheads of his ilk around the world taking over countries, I don't think any societal revolution looks promising in the near future.

Man the people who can see Luigi as a hero while voting for Trump... Ugh
