Was he on that island discussing whether the billionaires could keep their security detail loyal with shock collars?

Ellison is the world's sixth-richest man with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.

They are really concerned when people tire of their children dying from hunger and easily treatable diseases, we'll be coming for them. But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.
