Maybe you want to put a subtitle on your heavily promoted article instead of just "subtitle".

The homes of many ultrawealthy were just burned to the ground in Los Angeles, my former home. A contributing factor was one of the very wealthiest couples, whose fortune is 100% built on what you describe, owning 57% of the banked water in my former native home state.

I'm sick AF of seeing this narrative promoted. It's only about promoting terror to further enrich these people. It's not about people doing what we do, which is survive and thrive despite the odds. There's 8 BILLION people on earth now and it's likely too many, but population seems to be naturally declining. You spent all these words, and no - not going to read to your conclusion - to make yet another paean to a group that is mostly the worst among us. "They" desire this so people will continue to be terrified and spend their whole lives working to enrich, pamper, and comfort them.

We've survived three massive hurricanes here in SW Florida. I didn't see a single billionaire helping out and cleaning up but I saw thousands of us working together to do so. Of course there will be more storms. But this story's not gonna go your - or their - way and I'm tired of hearing it.
