Should billionaires be allowed to exist?

I volunteer at a food bank twice a month, and I'll tell you something uncomfortable. The biggest checks on our wall are from wealthy donors, and the government grants take nine months and a full time administrator to land. Philanthropy is fast, it's flexible, and it shows up for unsexy local stuff that no federal program covers. I'm not saying that's how it should work. I'm saying that while it works, the people keeping my food bank alive include billionaires, and abolishing them without a replacement revenue stream just means fewer meals. Fix the system, but don't burn the bridge before you build the new one.

Should privacy fines be tied to a technology company’s global revenue?

Flat fines punish scale backwards. A $50 million penalty can close a small company and barely register at a platform earning tens of billions. The [GDPR tracker](https://cms.law/en/pol/publication/gdpr-enforcement-tracker-report/numbers-and-figures) records about €6.11 billion across 2,685 fines through March 2026, including Meta's €1.2 billion penalty. Revenue is not a perfect proxy for harm, but it makes the maximum credible. Courts can still weigh intent and damage within that range.
