To expand on my previous point:
A cáncer cell (billionaire) is one that forgot its original purpose (being a productive member of society) and instead grows indiscriminately, eventually killing its host (Everyone else and the planet).
Honestly I don’t see any difference at all between the two.
If cancer cells are at their most dangerous when infecting an unhealthy host, does that imply that the ultra-wealthy are currently at their most dangerous, given how fragmented and non-united the human host is with respect to fighting them off?
Indeed, I’ve sometimes wondered just how much humanity, from a wide view, behaves like many a micro-organism that’s too successful for their own good, eventually exhausting the local resources, drowning in their own waste, and causing their own extinction. Not exactly a nice, cheery “Hallmark card” thought(!)
And since they run or influence our lives in so many ways, does that mean that humanity has cancer?
Indeed, I believe we are seeing the simptoms.
Won’t you say humanity is sick right now?

And another follow-up thought:

Ooh, nice.
