Loved this piece, Mark. So true that billionaires have never had to endure what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck, praying that your kid doesn't get sick, or your washing machine goes out, or your car needs a new engine. It reminded me of something Kara Swisher said in a recent podcast when talking to Ta-Nehisi Coates about why tech bros are so in favor of zero moderation on their platforms. She said, "Because the people who design the systems never felt unsafe a day in their lives." As a woman, she said, when she walks down a street at night, she always checks her surroundings. Ask any woman, they will tell you the same. So true. Billionaires and White men in general, don't know what it's like to fear for one's life on the daily. Women are often afraid--of men.
