I remember watching the DNC convention rail against billionaires, only to have a billionaire come up onstage (JB Pritzker) and get a loud applause. I don't think people know what to cheer for anymore!

Also this line was hilarious "A widening wealth gap can only be solved by one group: the people doing the widening."

Thanks for the shoutout, Eli!

If I dare say, LEVERAGE shares some similar DNA with MARTYR! I'm almost done with the audiobook version and loving it.

I mean, you expect the peasant class to be able to hold a political coalition together? Of course, elites are needed. The elite of republicans is smaller, less committed and less numerous ( democrats are more educated, gave significantly more money to their party for the campaign and clearly have more power in the institutions and the bureaucracy).
