There would be no such thing as #billionares in a resource based economy.

Mackenzie Scott?
Warren Buffett? Maybe you don't consider him good, but I definitely would call him bad.
Agree with the sentiment though, billionaires shouldn't exist.

cashhungwell.bsky.social•41 days ago

Warren Buffett is so cuddly grandpa. He's a capitalist like the others. Born rich and stayed rich.

cashhungwell.bsky.social•41 days ago

*no cuddly dammit

ignorantme.bsky.social•41 days ago

He has also consistently called out for higher taxes on the wealthy.

permanentrev.bsky.social•41 days ago

I hope most already knew that. But apparently we have to start at ground zero.

wookiegoldberg.bsky.social•41 days ago

In all fairness, there ARE impressive things about Trump. That hair, that's impressive. His confidence despite those baby hands, that's another impressive thing. His sense of entitlement is vile... but impressive.

Unfortunately there are far too many liberals and conservatives out there always looking for a billionaire they can cheerlead for because they've convinced themselves that said billionaire is on the side. The only class solidarity I see these days is in the capitalist class unfortunately.

blackwatertvreborn.bsky.social•41 days ago

Bill Gates? Oh yeah, I’m sure Donald Trump’s diehard supporters are definitely gonna welcome him into the fold LOL

All these billionaires trying to get on team MAGA hoping to pull on Elon.

cindymichels.bsky.social•40 days ago

Never liked Gates, oh and that person who invented Word Bullet Point Indenting!!!!

piucaffe.bsky.social•41 days ago

It doesn't scream philanthropist to have a personal wealth in the billions, so it should have been pretty obvious.

I can't remember where I saw it, but it was a fantastic quote: "The existence of billionaires is a failure of public policy."

afflatusmisery.etheirys.social•41 days ago

It's a big club, and we ain't in it.

fantasyyeti.bsky.social•40 days ago

Gates was never remotely “the resistance”.

nosik.bsky.social•41 days ago

it's done. We are officially in 1930

laurelbaysa.bsky.social•41 days ago

If we can go back in time, keep going, I hear 1780s is nice. 😊

That is why I am playing Red Dead Redemption 2.

hempev.bsky.social•41 days ago

How 'bout Mark Cuban?

waezer.bsky.social•41 days ago

He seems OK, but it would be preferable if he were a mere multimillionaire, his wealth was shared among more people, and the US healthcare system wasn't a live action rendition of Squid Games.

archifox.bsky.social•41 days ago

Everrrrrr... No amount of philanthropy can redeem you

I hope Bill Gates trips down the stairs

Impressed by what? I’d by more impressed if #felontrump ⚰️ ☠️

emilyesutton.bsky.social•41 days ago

Just being that wealthy makes someone evil. By hoarding that many resources, they're withholding food from the hungry, medicine from the sick, and shelter from the homeless.

thequietfight.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’m holding my breath, waiting for Taylor Swift to save us!

thequietfight.bsky.social•41 days ago

Also, waiting for the report that Mr. Beast spent the weekend at Mar-A-Lago.

notvolks.bsky.social•41 days ago

Would you be surprised?

thequietfight.bsky.social•41 days ago

Unfortunately, no. Always believed there are kindred souls who stay grounded despite great success, but over the last 10 years, that belief has faded. It feels like we’re in a dog-eat-dog world now. Perhaps it was inevitable, but I believe the rapid decline can be traced back to one convicted felon.

notvolks.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’ve read a lot that Mr Beast is pretty awful.

enitoni.dev•41 days ago

I never trusted him. When your entire schtick is "look at me! I'm such a good person giving money to people!" it just comes across as a strategy rather than a genuine want to make the world a better place. If he was truly a philanthropist he wouldn't constantly flaunt it like that.

Mackenzie Scott? Chuck Feeney?

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,

dstowe1.bsky.social•40 days ago

a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

dstowe1.bsky.social•40 days ago

A start. More is needed as in massive, daily protests across the country with the power to disrupt the incoming administration - U.S. economy.

Anyone who has wealth that could end things like hunger, homelessness, lack of free healthcare, lack of free education, and afterward would still have enough to live in luxury, but every day CHOOSES not to end ANY of them is a terrible person, and should be VERY afraid of our collective strength.

cant have been talking about the food, we all saw them pictures

Microsoft, Google and Apple are likely to follow suit with the new Regime.

cashhungwell.bsky.social•41 days ago

Already are.

They all have seats already at the inaugural luncheon.

As people have been saying... hybrid regime.

jaydee-m.bsky.social•40 days ago

I know Zuck has an impending court date coming up, so he may have an agenda to clear that mess up.
I think the others, apart from their incessant greed, I think they are just trying to keep up with Musk, and I think his main goal is to become the first trillionaire.

arghouse.bsky.social•41 days ago

Gates... he's gonna purge you buddy. Gods oligarchs are so fucking stupid, they want to replicate modern day Russia in America, most of them are going to get offed by Trump or by their own fellow oligarchs. Solidarity between the oligarch is only ever temporary until the knife is ready to strike.

jaydee-m.bsky.social•40 days ago

Defenestration.

Meeting at trump tower, sixth floor.
