Perfect: “For Plato, the source of inequality was a disease of the soul that the Greeks called pleonexia — a kind of insatiable greed. In Plato’s “Gorgias,” Socrates likened this condition to a leaky jug: No matter how much water one pours into it, it will demand more. For some, the desire for money extends only so far as is necessary to cover their needs; for others, the desire is infinite.”

As I like to say often though less eloquently about the tech moguls : They are so poor all they have is money. It’s a disease at this point and it is up to everyone to push back at this grotesque behavior of the super wealthy.
