Shilling for a billionaire? Hah. What percentage of her fortune do you think that is? What is she waiting for? Death?
Laughable that you, from a commie instance, is standing up for a fucking billionaire. I always knew you guys were fake. What a joke.
Do you even know who she is? She's Jeff Bezos' ex-wife. She's been donating billions of dollars since the divorce to hundreds of charities. She didn't become a billionaire by being a bitch like most of the others.
I know who she is and this changes nothing. She still HAS the money, it’s not about how a person gets it. Stop simping for billionaires. I bet you looove Taylor swift.
Stop being a mindless "all or nothing" moron. She didn't fleece people for her money, and she doesn't have to give it away, either. Yet she chose to commit to giving most of it away, and she's trying to make the most positive effect out of it she can by being extremely selective about where she puts it. WTF more would you have her do to satisfy you?
Grow up, and stop being such a hateful ass. It's just another form of blind bigotry, judging people by some singular facet about them rather than considering the whole of who they are.
And, no, I don't care for Swift's music. From what little I do know of her, she seems basically yet another somewhat decent person at heart that's been gradually corrupted by fame, fortune, and the changes to one's life that come with such, but I think she still is a bit off from what I'd consider "evil." I can understand being disappointed in her, but not the level of absolute vitriol you seem to have for her.
A person cannot amass a billion dollars and not be evil. And if they somehow come by it accidentally, they can keep what they need and toss the rest.
How much money would YOU need to live a very good life without ever working or worrying again?
I just did some math, and 20mil is my “zero worry” amount. Heck I could probably just live on the interest.
Stop defending evil people, you sound like a fed
Even for the internet, this is stupid.
She's donated something like $20 billion so far. I don't think billionaires should exist, but frankly there are way more deserving targets (such as her former husband) who provide basically no value to society.
ALL OF THEM ARE TARGETS ALL OF THE TIME.
The moment you let one off the hook is the moment you let all of them off the hook. Taylor Swift should be strung up next to them too, Regardless.
I like how you went from some snide comment about her not feeding people (which she has donated a bunch of money for, btw) to killing her and now Taylor Swift in particular for whatever reason. Very normal thought process.
Guess she should just hoard her wealth or buy 20 yachts like most other wealthy people since giving away billions is worthless and she should instead wait in the forever stalled line to be hanged or have the govt institute a wealth tax (that was a joke, the US will never institute a wealth tax).
Well, when people escalate a simple comment and defend billionaires, I lose patience.
Bruh, you're the one that jumped to murdering them.
Uh huh. So, are you gonna do anything with your lost patience, or just randomly say we should murder billionaires while actually just sitting around on your computer and hoping someone else will take one for the team or whatever?
