@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I tend to think this problem with plutocrat outlook (techbros in particular) significantly predates the pandemic.
Any time the common folk aren't praising their brilliant business choices, these would-be oligarchs get pissy. So they dream of creating a future, either where they control a fief of loyal subjects who share their vision, or where they own everything and all work is automated (no need for ungreatful humans).
