About fucking time.
Citizen's United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.
If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.
Edit: Getting off of the list of the world's billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.
