This is the most accurate no I've ever read in my life.

Use SimpleX chat instead. It's open source, verified secure by 3rd party cryptologists, and has features like self destruct where you can input a secondary passcode and it will seemingly "log you in" while simultaneously deleting all chat history and recreating an account with your name. That ensures that any attempts to capture group members and torture their way into the group could be mitigated.
I was annoyed that no one was answering this because I was tacitly curious too. For what its worth, it was kinda difficult to find a current figure, but in 2021 it was 11% of the global wealth or $51.81 trillion. The top .1% only has about $56 trillion from what I can tell.
So even in that bracket, the ultra-super pro max wealthy own 90%+ of the top .1% of global wealth if my numbers are even remotely correct. That list would be the world's 810,000 most wealthy individuals.
Talk about a gross oversimplification. Venice grew out of mosquito infested lagoon due to necessity. The Venetian people were driven into the lagoon multiple times over centuries as a means of protection from Germanic invasions in the 7th century. They capitalized on shipping and trade just like any other population would do and used those riches to make their citizens lives better. What would you have expected them to do? Turn away from the money spice trading and Mediterranean shipping traffic brought them because it would make them too rich? Because again, they were a people used to fleeing into a mosquito infested lagoon when their farming population was invaded by multiple armies.
For that reason, comparing an entire cultural population like Venice to a singular person is a false equivalency. Bezos hasn't used his shipping fortune to enrich anyone but himself, but at least Venetian royalty built buildings and public spaces for their population.
Its by design. If they have an unruly person they want to just get rid of every once in a while, kill them behind closed doors and dump the body in the swamp during a faux escape attempt. Then during the media circuit that surrounds the death you just claim the prisoner was killed by alligators in the surrounding swamp after an attempted escape.
In the field. We already addressed that. Humans pick the food in 104° weather in late June/July/August when the wet bulb globe temperature is 95+
