Great, more billionaires making decisions about what’s best for the common folk.

Could have been worse, he’s not outright fascist; the SPD (far-right) and STAČILO! (tankies) movements want to leave NATO and EU. Like last time, the tankies did not make it into Parliament but the far-right is sizeable (16). Still, it will not be enough for majority (101) with Babiš (80), they will also need to appease Motorists (13). So I guess we’ll have lots of populism, corruption, continued coal mining and stalling public transit investments.
The previous cabinet (center-right SPOLU that’s similar to US Democrats, plus Pirates and Mayors) only has 92 in total now because they inherited an economic crisis in 2021 after Babiš’s irresponsible pandemic response (they handled it well but failed to connect with people, and they kept supporting Israel). Does this remind you of a certain American country? At least they managed to get some things done on issues I care about (no more forced castration for legal sex change, investment into 21ˢᵗ century rail infrastracture) and budgeted responsibly.

Why do people keep thinking that billionaires have our best interests at heart?
There are some nice low-end millionaires. There are no nice billionaires. Plain and simple. You don’t become a billionaire by being nice and playing nicely.
Billionaires do not want to get into politics for the good of the people or the world. Ever. Full stop.

It’s the thinking part that’s left out.
People are easily swayed by implanting feelings in them over media that are buyable.
My favorite quote is “What can you do with seven billion that you can’t do with four?” from the Entrapment (1999).
