You need massive amounts of wealth to gain and maintain a monopoly on violence. So they did both.

The Mitt Romney that told Biden to preemptively pardon Trump?

I have a prosthetic that replaces nine teeth and a significant portion of gum tissue lost due to a surgery, and I had to fight tooth (heh) and nail to get my dentist to make one where the teeth weren't perfect. He wanted to add a veneer to one of my remaining teeth so I would have that chiclet smile. No, thank you.

If they are doing something (and I'm confident that someone is. Likely quite a few of them), then we won't know until they put the plan into action. That information leaking right now would be disastrous.
