> If the other oligarchs seem to be doing nothing, it is not because they have no power to wield.

Good grief, this is just an axiomatic belief, then. No evidence will sway you one way or another.



What part of oligarch is hard to translate into sufficient amount of evidence that does not require me to prove that 1000 million dollars might result in an ability to wield influence that a a simple individual like meself would consider mildly outsized? At this point it is like gravity. You don't have to believe it. It is just is.


Of course they have more influence than you and I.

But that doesn't mean they have enough power to influence the president and to correct course.
