We could elect people changing the system and there is nothing the 2k people could do...The reason the billionaires have so much power and protection is because a lot of people side with them and the system they support.

which one of your two options is offering to change the system? Who owns the media that propagandises the masses not to support such change because "cOMmUnISm" and instead be bombarded with "aspirational" content designed (at the cost of trillions of dollars) to make us overconsume? (E: depending on where you live there could of course be more than two options, but I guarantee none of the top contenders are there to change the system, those who do aim to, get slandered by the media long before they get to a position where they're a serious threat to the status quo)

what we need to do is change the companies and the way to do that is legislation.

Who is legislating? And who do they actually serve (see above)

not a single billionaire yet still horrible pollution. Billionaires don’t cause pollution, people do.

Lmfao. It isn't poor people who wage and fund war that leaves more poverty and destruction for them, and billions for those calling the shots. The fact that in one place at one time the people making the money weren't local doesn't change that.

Billionaires don’t cause pollution, people do.

Billionaires are people, people who use their vast power and money to maintain a system that is and always has been rigged in their favour, and that is designed to keep you trapped, along with the rest of us.
