So let’s get this straight — rich, educated guys — all from countries where having a super developed functional government was key to their ability to have something to generate capital off of — want to take their riches (along with future capitals riches) and run for the hills... giving back... what? Nothing? And where to take to? Places that don’t have a developed, functional government, with uneducated and impoverished populations. Places that don’t have a labor force suited for sophisticated multi-nationals that want a tax haven despite promises that somehow the impoverished will he marginally better.<p>All this libertarian nonsense coming from the wealthy has gotten to the point where no longer do people understand the lives dedicated to making theirs possible has indeed been a key factor in their own personal success.<p>We need more civic-minded leadership across the population, not less. The greed is just excessive.

I feel like humans have been trying to achieve some variation of this "utopia" for so long. I like to think it could work (in theory). But seeing so much failure due to greed, hubris, naiveté, etc. Makes me doubt it can work
