Replace “billionaires” with “the government” and you got yourself something truer
Governments have mechanism for changing them even if it’s difficult and seems impossible. But not billionaires. They are a blight on society.
This is true for democratic nations, but they've been feeling the hurt lately as representatives are being bought out by (you guessed it) billionaires. So even when it's the governments failing, it's usually some rich asshole pulling the strings behind them. Who would've thought a corrupt politician would need a sugar daddy.
