     @tinkebell Thing is, like the divine right of kings, there are folks who believe economic theory "proves" the person with more money is more useful. von Neuman and Morgenstern, in "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" literally say "Money is Utility." It's insane, deranged, fatuous even, but it's the bedrock of "modern economics", and shit-for-brains like Musk and #DiaperDon and the #CouchFucker actually believe it.
