    What is she referring to when she says “changed the rules?” The rules of basic human decency, or something more concrete?

      I would assume it refers to lots of things, starting with this:

      and then things like the corporate tax rate, capital gains, inheritance, lack of anti trust enforcement, reducing labor protections, deregulations, wide spread wage theft, regulatory capture, etc. etc.

      Like , you can say 'what rules? ’ and there’s no one rule or set of rules that changed to enable a trillionaire, but there have been a plethora of systemic changes to favor those in power over time, and allow for more exploitation and less accountability.

      That may or may not be what she’s referring to, but it’s how I take it.

      The ipo rules, they were going to ignore a bunch of rules and just go but I heard they changed their minds and will actually apply the rules so the spacex ipo shouldn’t be anytime soon. Same for anthropic and openai.

      Edit: I think the s&p500 specifically.
