     I think a difference between how Charles Dickens portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge and our current elite cannot be cured with information.

     The ghosts of Christmas could appear to our present oligarchs and they wouldn't change a thing. As cruelty is the point for Donald Trump's supporters, the power and privilege the wealthy have over us is the point for them.

     If you doubt this, consider their failure to respond meaningfully to the climate crisis, which will impact their children even if not to the same degree as it will everyone else's children.
