bingo. The meta game in the US is to make enough money so you don’t have any limitations. Money pays for everything as we see with Elon.

What a dystopia China is where billionaires can’t get away with paying a fee in a legal for a few world.

Don't get it twisted here.

The billionaires in China aren't punished for doing illegal shit. They are punished for going against The Party.

They probably get away with at least as much or more than US billionaires as long as they don't ever go against The Party.

Don't get the impression they are being held accountable for other stuff that The Party doesn't care about.

Jack Ma was literally bragging about breaking international law and that the government wasn't going to stop or regulate him before disappearing.

Going against the party and going against the law are often the same thing stated differently.

The same principle applies in the USA. If you are best friends with the (D) party leaders, you are virtually immune to prosecution.

(R) party is left to exist as a group of useful idiots who never pass any meaningful legislation that isn't immediately dismantled by (D) establishment within a few years.
