      Fuck up their schemes? Putin’s scheme to wreck US hegemony is going insanely well and would’ve been going even better if he hadn’t greedily, groundlessly invaded Ukraine. Trump’s plan to abuse the presidency for personal gain seems to be doing well too.

        Why do US billionaires accept the end of the hegemony? Trump can’t act against their plans or he would be impeached.

                It’s enough that 10 billionaires understand the development to convince the rest.

                They think about power all day long. They will notice if they lose it.

                  they surely will. That doesn’t mean they’re sharp enough to properly strategize. IMO when you have lots of money, you don’t really have to think as much, because it’s kust that more easier to breed money when you already have so much. So when the crisis finally comes, you won’t be able to properly analyze the situation.

                  Case in point — corpos like Microsoft and Ubisoft.

                    because it’s kust that more easier to breed money when you already have so much.

                    Warren Buffett says no. To invest billions is more difficult because high growths opportunities with high margins rarely exist in that price range.

                    Case in point — corpos like Microsoft and Ubisoft.

                    Are they stupid or do they optimize for different constraints? MS could have introduced AI for surveillance and not for growth.

                    So when the crisis finally comes, you won’t be able to properly analyze the situation.

                    I can’t disprove this. However I think that some are intelligent enough and with billions at their disposal they could make themselves heard.
