I don't have cable, and will not be able to watch this show. But I was wondering if there's truth to the billionaire class being hypocritical and thin-skinned.

Then I remembered when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed.

I was aghast that anti-government crypto-state-libertarian, Dr. Balaji Srinivasan (former Coinbase COO), called for a bailout of the bank by the government.

I thought it seemed hypocritical.

It seems obvious to me, given the public meltdowns we’ve seen over the smallest of slights. IMO, I shouldn’t even have to name names. But it is an interesting difference in perspective to observe.
