"As long as we're valuing capital over labor, we have a
future in store that's owned by the 0.0001% where the rest of us
get to pay for the privilege of being allowed to breathe their
air and live on property they own. Where I get stuck at is how
we get out of this bind--with people like the Mercers and the
Kochs and the various Putin-orbit oligarchs holding the rights
to so much of the world's wealth, how do we devalue, divest, and
otherwise claw back those resources to a place where we can use
them for the good of society, rather than the plutocrats?"
