1% are in control, and taking more and more for themselves, at the expense of everyone and everything else.

The shortsighted greed of a few is destroying the planet, making life worse for everyone, and wasting what belongs to all of us for ego and avarice. It should be no surprise the sociopaths rise to power, they have nothing like morals or empathy to keep them grounded, they simply take and take. The truly sad part is, so many people support and defend them, seemingly because they wish they themselves where more like them. I am not sure what is worse.
