I see lots of Billionaires gained x much wealth during the pandemic. I would suggest anyone propagating this faux outrage is not what they appear, including Snowden. For two reasons:
-
There is nothing illegal about acquiring wealth legally.
-
Billionaires can risk more during times of crisis when markets dip more and often and thus invest in the dips. Calculated risk is not a crime.
Furthermore, there is nothing the average joe or jane can do about it, it is a problem for the people they elect to do something about it. This, like many things, is a redirect of what they fear most, the anger and justice seeking of a populace.
