Billionaires, Politics, and Water Wars

This chapter examines the modern obsessions of billionaires with space exploration, contrasting their individualistic pursuits with historical philanthropy and community investment. It critiques the current political influence of wealthy tech entrepreneurs in San Francisco, the rise of extreme libertarian ideologies, and explores the historical manipulation of water resources in California. The discussion raises urgent concerns about the implications of these trends on governance, societal structure, and the urgent need for a leftist alternative.
