The pizza arrives and the first guy takes 80 slices. And if someone suggests, why don&#8217;t you just take 79 slices, that&#8217;s socialism! I know, I know. I know, I know, it&#8217;s just a TV show. But it does reinforce the stupid idea people have that rich people would love us and share with us if only they got to walk a mile in our cheap plastic shoes.<\/p>\n<p>But they&#8217;re the reason the shoe factory moved to China. We have this fantasy that our interests and the interests of the super rich are the same. Like somehow the rich will eventually get so full that they&#8217;ll explode. And the candy will rain down on the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p>Like there&#8217;s some kind of pinata of benevolence. But here&#8217;s the thing about a pinata. It doesn&#8217;t open on its own.
