It all started one night in February, at a big dinner party attended by Hollywood influencers. The movie studio that employed you at the time had finalized a big deal to fund the production of a sequel to one of your most profitable movies; naturally, the studio hosted a party at a rented Pasadena villa to celebrate the end of the negotiations.
It was at this party that you met Damian Brilz, a wealthy real estate entrepreneur who owns large buildings in Los Angeles that are regularly rented by the film studios. Damian belongs to the wealthy Brilz family, a dynasty of investors of Austrian origin, settled in the USA since the end of World War II, and whose almost every member has made a fortune in his lifetime. The Brilzes are a sort of Kennedy family, just as successful, but with less media exposure. By the way, Damian is a great admirer of JFK, and a great supporter of the theory that he was killed by the CIA.
It's late evening. You and Damian are talking about what's going on in the country, leaning on the railing of the large elevated terrace, with a breathtaking view of the Los Angeles skyline. You are not drunk (at least...not that drunk) but the fatigue and the ambient noise cloud your mind.. You are forced to speak loudly to understand each other.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">"...but it's not perfect in Europe, I know that very well. In our countries, politicians are a little afraid of the people, because without the people, nothing runs. You see, that's why countries with big natural resources are disastrous for human rights: you can exploit diamond mines with unskilled workers, and if they die, you can easily replace them. But agriculture? It has become very technologically advanced, you can't allow 1000 farmers to die accidentally. You're forced to take care of them."</span>
"Yeah, okay, that makes sense. But it's inevitable. We need resources to keep a high standard of living and produce cars, televisions, cell phones. Some country is bound to have to extract these resources, and if it's a disaster for human freedom...it's unfortunately inevitable. You are part of this yourself: you and your family own several billions of dollars...this money comes from somewhere! For someone to become rich, someone else has to suffer, and if everyone strives to remain equal, we become like the USSR."
<span class="mu-g">"That's right! Tell me, if you were president of the USA, what would you do? You told me you would be interested in a political career, I think?"</span>
