I agree. John Oliver once referred to billionaires as something like a bug in the structure of the system, and I wholeheartedly agree with that analysis. Unfortunately, they're a bug that's not so easily dislodged. Until then, designing systems that are able to deal with their existence is the best way to deal with them.
