The bigger problem, to my mind, is the mega-conglomerates. If Google was a country, they'd have the 10th biggest economy in the world. Conglomerates are faceless and predatory, and happy to destroy lives in the name of profit.

At least billionaires are human, even the ones in charge of conglomerates. They just need to make sure they don't pull the ladder up after them; there needs to be a route for anyone to aspire to join them. Yes, it takes a lot of luck and effort, but it should be possible.
