Wow what a shock. Billionaires don’t care about anyone but themselves. That’s how you become a billionaire; you exploit and murder people, and the world.
There’s no billionaire that doesn’t have blood on their hands.
I can't imagine Oprah killing someone and yet I also can't imagine she hasn't.
She might not have personally murdered anyone (yet), but she DID introduce the world to a shitload of junk science as well as promoted a faith healer who raped probably hundreds of women and girls.
It's going to be hilarious when they either re enter Earth's orbit because they thought they could hide from everything in an orbiting space station .... or they just die alone in their underground bunker.
They may well be the last to survive but the destruction and chaos they cause will lead to a complete extinction of our species.
I can't remember the context of this factoid but I read somewhere that the ultra rich have been investing in yachts specifically for climate change. But because none of these assholes know how to actually use a boat, a bunch of bespoke industries have come out where yachts are loaded onto like a mega boat where they are ferried around the world.
a boat within a boat? we have to go deeper!
Years ago I learned that tribes people often create large herds (a sign of wealth) that then lead to desertification, famine and poverty. Seems like we do the same thing, but at a higher level.
we should give them more money
