This won't stop. Rich people telling others how to live their lives has been going on for a loong time and there are many incentives for them to continue. Including tax loopholes..and you know how they feel about that.

Sigh,

The Taliban aren't rich but they specialise in telling people how to live their lives.

At gunpoint.

They capture the means of production through force, does that not make them rich, relatively?
The Taliban have a functioning economy: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-46554097 They have billions in assets: https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/08/17/treasury...
