"And I wonder — why is it so difficult for so many upper-middle-class people to understand that there are 8 billion of us and this privilege problem is what causes hundreds of 19-year-olds and thousands of children to lose their lives each day: in service of billionaires like Shahzada Dawood and the other billionaire on the sub, Hamish Harding."
Because a lot of people <<Americans>> believe they will be the next billionaire. To them, this monstrous accumulation of wealth and resources is "freedom" that everyone should have a "right" to. If we taxed the wealthy as they should be taxed then Joe Blow wouldn't be able to get obscenely rich, too. It's selfish, childish, delusional thinking.
