The Epstein files are a window into the world of the financial and political elite. What emerges from this window is an ugly sight. Epstein’s coterie transcended normal political divides. Gates and Hoffman are centrist liberals who tend to support Democrats, while Thiel, Lutnick, and Musk are all ardent right-wingers. But their seeming partisan differences were as nothing compared to their common membership in the ruling class

This is in The Nation, wild.

Yes. That's why we should forbid obscene wealth. It produces rotten dangerous people.

We all know that happens. Psychologists know that happens. Let's prevent it and it's a win win situation.
