Billionaires, dictators, and two hot mics

[John Clark]

Last Thursday a number of tech billionaires had an embarrassing dinner with Trump where they were forced to heap praise on Donald, the insincerity was palpable. A reporter asked Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg  how much money he plans to invest in the U.S. and said "$600 billion". Soon after that Zuckerberg was caught on a hot mic saying to Trump “Sorry, I wasn’t ready … I wasn’t sure what number you wanted to go with.”

On a live broadcast thanks to another hot mic, Chinese dictator Xi can be heard telling Russian dictator Putin "In the past, it used to be rare for someone to be older than 70 and these days they say that at 70 one's still a child."  Putin responded to Xi's comment by saying to him "With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality." And there is nothing at all disturbing about two septuagenarian dictators chit-chatting about transplanting young human organs into old people in order to become immortal.

For years I've been hearing how billionaires have too much power in the U.S.  That they secretly control everything.  Now it is clear that real power, as  Mao said, "Grows from the barrel of a gun."
