The problem with capitalism is that morons can get filthy rich and make poor decisions.

Example 1: US president.

There there. Give some credit to the American people. They're the ones that elected him. Twice.

I mean really the same problem with Monarchy. Once someone somehow gets on top very hard to remove them and their descendants from power even if the original person or their descendants are complete idiots.

Yeah, look at Zuckerberg, who recently burned billions on his crappy virtual reality project, and is now doing the same with AI.

The stupid thing is there are already profitable VR games that basically do exactly what Zuckerberg was trying to do. So despite the fact that he could just copied somebody else's homework he managed to screw it up.
