When you think this story can't get more out of touch, it does

Warning: Spoilers
If you want a short-term dystopia, you'll get to watch a sitting AG sabotage a billionaire donation that would improve the lives of millions of people, and an entrepreneur walk back on his commitment to a fund due to fact that NYPD union was one of the hundreds of investors, which would "destroy the reputation of his firm". No limited partner scrutinizes (much less controls) who invests alongside them.

Also, the notion that the "Prince list" is an oversubscribed and exclusive group that will have 600% or 6000% returns is so laughable. First, no one will commit billions of capital to MPC for Prince to donate money to the government and pursue his Olympics obsession. Last, to the surprise of no one, if you do that, your returns will suck. You can't give in to everyone's demands, pursue a personal dream/agenda, be woke, forfeit profits as they did in several occasions, and be attractive as a fund. The show creates this notion that you can have it all, and that's not real life.

If that wasn't enough, you'll also have to watch NYPD depicted as "state sanctioned killers", as well as the weekly showing of Stacey Abrahams' portrait, whose greatest achievement is - like Trump - to lose an election and undermine our democracy.

This is so bad, and Showtime needs to put an end to the misery.
