14. And, may we all hope to live for the day when that backfires on them in a spectacular way.

Humans are necessary. The rich have tried for centuries to remove humans from their equation because humans expect to be compensated for their efforts. The rich cannot part with one cent of their wealth to help people (but they can easily part with loads of it for that twelfth mansion or that newest addition to the fleet of yachts), so they think that we can be replaced. And they are so sure of it that they are willing to allow as many of us to die due to greed and avarice as possible so that they don't have to part with one cent of that hoard that they possess.

The fact that they have managed to convince a portion of the population that this is a good idea is why I despair so much. Some of us are too fucking gullible.

TOO fucking gullible.
