Ah, a billionaire finally doing the most useful thing they'll have ever done; feeding worms and creating compost.

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 weeks ago

I don't disagree, but unfortunately without the people seizing his assets, his death just created one or more other billionaires in his place, depending on who inherits.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately human beings are usually embalmed so his compost would be contaminated with formaldehyde. This guy specifically is probably also going into some kind of vault, so the wormies will go hungry.

I have a big problem with the funeral industry πŸ™ƒ I told my kids to bury me on property, claim my skull to keep on the mantle, and keep cashing my social security as long as possible.

Anyway even in death billionaires are worthless and toxic, the world would be better off without them.

Marcus said in a 2022 interview with the Financial Times that he was β€œworried about capitalism” and that because of what he called the spread of β€œsocialism” in America, β€œnobody works. Nobody gives a damn. β€˜Just give it to me. Send me money. I don’t want to work β€” I’m too lazy, I’m too fat, I’m too stupid.’”

β€œWe used to have free speech here. We don’t have it,” Marcus told the newspaper. β€œThe woke people have taken over the world.

If nobody worked, how did he get so rich?

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If we don't have free speech, how do we know what the asshole said?

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Pieces of shit like him never have their freedom of speech taken away.

Well, at least we got some good news today. He was also a prolific anti-LGBTQ bigot.
