The German chancellor argues that shorter hours and high sick leave are hurting growth, as Europe’s largest economy struggles with stagnation, labor shortages and rising unemployment.
Highly debatable, but let’s assume he is for the sake of the argument.
The thing is, if people like Thiel, Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg didn’t have the fortunes (and media power) they have, people like Trump would not be elected. This excessive wealth is actively harming democracy, and Trump is actually the prime example of why these billionaires must be taxed into nonexistence.
But yes, if I had to choose between a rock and a hard place, I would pick the bad elected president to control federal funds until the next election over the bad billionaire to just own this fortune until he dies.
