A hedge fund that serves a bunch of billionaire family offices? Who cares? They don’t get to summer in the Hamptons? Who cares!”

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya stunned CNBC anchor Scott Wapner and generated widespread applause on social media by declaring in a television interview Thursday that the U.S. government should let hedge funds and billionaire CEOs “get wiped out” by the coronavirus-induced economic collapse and instead focus its attention on rescuing Main Street.

People are calling for human “sacrifices” in this “war” on Covid.

so let me ask again: How much of the 40% of America that the 1% own are they willing to part with to help save lives and ease the the lot of the ones most affected by the epidemic?

My best estimate is 0% or less…
