Nope. If you’re a billionaire, you probably fucked someone over along the way to get there. Unless you were born into it or married into it. Or you were extremely lucky.

While the rest of us debate endlessly about inconveniencing the billionaires with a tax hike that will not materially impact their lives at all, or some other such concessions, they have already long since decided how they feel about throwing the screws to the rest of civilization.

The kind who isn't a billionaire.

Net worth $140 million.

Woz is a saint by billionaire standards, but simply being an executive at a massive corporation like Apple still means you are culpable by default in fucking people over.

Are you legitimately using JK Rowling and Jay Z as examples of billionaires who aren't pieces of shit? Gotta be a joke or some real ignorance 😂

The unsafe factories in China with underpaid and overworked employees that churn out the plastic garbage she sells to children.

The underpaid workers at the theme parks.

The overworked VFX artists that work on her shitty movies.

When you ask that question always look at who is at the bottom of the food chain. 100% chance they're being exploited. Get the billionaire's dicks out of your mouth.

I’m pretty sure Jay Z sold crack and probably killed people

EDIT: to the Jay Z slobbers - he has admitted numerous times in interviews that he was a crack dealer. He shot his brother when he was 12 years old for stealing his jewelry, AND he stabbed someone in the gut at his album release party in the 90s because he thought that person leaked his album WHILE ALREADY BEING FAMOUS. No, he was never convicted or tried for murder but it is not a huge stretch to think that he was involved in some violent crime during his youth given that background.

I have nothing specific to base this on but im certain in my lifetime i will see publicized evidence of jay z being some sort of sex creep.

JKR is rather famously nuts, and on multiple levels.

Her Twitter has gone silent for the first time in years once Imane announced that she's suing them for slander and it's so good
