    Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.

    This is just…so weak. I really would have appreciated a “fuck you” and a vague threat of violence, but alas.

    We need to protect people like Zuckerburg from being singled out and hated by society. This is why we need to tax his wealth until he’s no longer a billionaire. We need to tax him for his own good.

    Real issue is not just owning billions, there is also what you have to do to hold on to that kind of money: suck up to dictators so they let you monopolize tech and crush small competitors.

    Maybe this will motivate Taylor Swift to give more than her equivalent of a nickel to a dying kid.

    TBH Eilish always seemed really fake before, kind of vulgar and low talent with the pop equivalent of mumble rapping, but this kind of statement is as real as it gets bringing attention to the fact that “things are really, really bad” because you know for sure a lot of assholes in that crowd were trying real hard to ignore it.

    Ah yes she hit him with the power of talking. There is a chance he won’t recover from this for the next 5 seconds.
