it's not just that billionaires did nothing--they actively boosted the "covid is a hoax" and "they're stealing your freedom" narratives because lockdowns are bad for business. all while forcing regular people to return to work in the midst of a global pandemic that killed millions

Billionaires did plenty, they gave us a pizza party telling us we are essential while making us work at the grocery store.

Mmmm. I do like pizza. They got me there.
