Mankind. We're Finished.

Oh for fuck's sake:

The Billions universe has four shows currently in development beyond the flagship series. Billions: Miami is set in the world of private aviation, where the clientele believe the rules of society, government and gravity don’t apply to them, amidst the wealth, nightlife, contraband and the cryptocurrency that pulses through that city. Koppelman and Levien are writing. Billions: London operates in the world of U.K. finance. Millions would feature diverse thirtysomething financial mogul wannabes doing whatever it takes to make it in Manhattan; and Trillions is a drama based on fictional stories of the richest people in the world.

What's next, Kazillions? Billions Plus Infinity? Our long national obsession with fetishizing the ultra-rich continues unabated and so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past until we've all fucked our own selves over in the name of genuflecting to these people, foolishly hoping that in doing so we will, somehow, become one of them. 😡😡😡😡
