The Oligarchy in America
Mark Rylance plays an industry titan who single handedly imperils the entire planet in pursuit of just a little more profit, only to fail and ensure our doom. He says there are two kind of hall marks to the oligarchy in america: they don't say "we're not going to solve problems" They always happen to be solving problems in a way that enriches them and empowers them. The thing that they can't tolerate is we're going to solve the asteroid problem more safely, but we's not going to get rich.
