He's still a billionaire, no one becomes a billionaire working 9-5 everyday like a common person. Remember, every cent of profit is an unrealized cent of worker's wages.
No one here has disputed that. Why can people not understand nuance?
I apologize then, it's just that it's a common talking point to say someone like Buffett isn't as bad because of paying taxes or similar. Typically by neo-liberal types as justification that there are "good billionaires."
I am saying he's not as bad. Doesn't make him good.
Like with Laika's owner, he's nearer the bottom of the list of ones that needs to go.
Lots of soviet space dogs survived, fun fact!
Oh I was referencing Laika studios or what it's called. They made Kubo And The Two Strings. It's headed by a billionaire who inherited his fortune. He uses it to make art. They've made a fair amount of stop motion movies that didn't return big bucks, but he just cares about the art.
I thought of the space dog too lmao thanks for sharing
Oh! Misunderstood completely, haha!
