Comment on YSK: Two oil brothers, Charles Koch and David Koch, attempted to purchase the entire United States Congress

If it makes you happy, the constitution was created to prevent this exact scenario, which is why everything in the US is an oligopoly and not an outright monopoly that can buyout the entire government. Stuff like US Steel, Standard Oil, and the original JP Morgan has never truly been eclipsed in sheer power in the modern US.

Even with collusion, deals still fall through and billionaires fight each other because they all want to be king.

So uh, woopdeedoo I guess
