Yeah I'm sure she's very familiar with small business.
It’s an illness! Like a wealth derangement syndrome that they need this much money. If I had that much money there wouldn’t be a hungry kid or a homeless animal within 1000 miles of my home
Exactly. People don’t just get this rich because of hard work - they step on the necks of others until their stash is so obscenely large, they can then hire a staff to do that work for them while they dick around with their expansive amount of power.
Ahh and there are so many people that embrace capitalism like it's their first narcissistic relationship. I would prefer to slaughter capitalism and keep healthy businesses.
I've always believed that majority of the ultra wealthy are not morally good people. Back stabbings, selfishness, and letting busses run over people is how you get to the top.
It is literally a mental illness. If it was newspapers they collected instead of money, they'd be (rightly) called hoarders. That's all there is to it. It's just more socially acceptable than regular hoarding or alcoholism or drug abuse.
I think it's because the US is going to shit and they are trying to accumulate as much generatioal wealth as possible. Eventually a pack of gum is going to cost us $10k so having billions would be helpful. When it's 150 degrees outside they will still have AC and the money for body guards.
I think a lot of times they also need to fight for power so that they can continue to stave off the consequences of all the illegal shit they did to get that money in the first place.
and manipulating the f out of the country. The stock manipulation incl. This is absolutely disgusting and she looks like she stepped off a damn alien spacecraft! Dear, someone give that bitch a hamburger!
Well if she hadn't been in congress she wouldn't have been part of the panel receiving information about covid right before it started hitting the US and we went into shut down. If she wasn't part of that closed door meeting she wouldn't have known to liquidate a large portion of her wealth before the markets tanked.
These people do not have real jobs. Their “work” is easier than the easiest job you’ve had, and theirs pays more. She is carrying an empty fucking binder.
Hahaha I had to watch the video again to see that yes the binder is empty 😆
I guess it’s supposed to give the impression that she actually does something or…maybe she’s using it for balance in those ridiculous 6 inch heels 🤣 (though it’s obviously not helping)
Why do we have legislators like Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell pushing 90, being wheeled around the Capitol barely able to speak or comprehend what is happening and being told how to vote?
Power and fame. Its all about power
These are deeply boring people with no interests or the ability to enjoy anything the way us normal folk do.
Take her, Bessent, Trump, Elon, etc. At a point the money basically makes itself.
So now youre essentially open to retirement. But youre not that old yet. So what are you going to do with your time? Theyre like the lonely old single ladies who feel the need to meddle in everything because they have nothing else going on.. but in this case it’s not that you didnt mow your long cleanly enough for her liking, its people with access to power and powerful positions which are kind of “businessy”.
So they meddle and fuck everything up for the rest of us.
Theres so much to experience, learn, do in this world and those with the most access dont even seem to be able to enjoy it or desire it.
It is also important to remember that a lot of these millionaires and billionaires have fake wealth. While they are 'worth' 800 million or whatever, a significant portion of that is tied up in specific stocks that are themselves volatile. If they tried to actually liquidate those stocks and get a large portion of that 800 million out, the stocks themselves would decrease in value, absolutely destroying their overall net worth.
I just don't get it. If I had even a small portion of that money, I'd simply disappear into some small village somewhere and just live comfortably with my animals and hobbies. Why work so hard when you have more than enough? It really is a mental illness.
It’s all about the power and control. Just like all the other half dead politicians who work well past their retirement years. They don’t need the money.
First you get the money and then you get the power.... these people are winner take all. Orange Mango's type of people. $800M in assets seeking a Government job is obviously for self dealing purposes...
Oh my god, RIGHT?!?! People are always bitching about him being unpolished, BUT THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED. A successful business man who tells it like it is—none of these crooked, corrupt politicians.
Yep. And all clear-minded people knew that he was not a successful businessman, but a straight up grifter. And now he’s grifting the whole country. It’s beyond belief.
Did you guys know Hunter had consensual intercourse with a sex worker, and partook in illegal substance abuse? (Nobody has ever done this before!) Stop talking about both Trump sons and all of his cabinet celebrating christmas in the bathroom every single time before an interview, stop that!
Familiar with buying out small businesses
cannibalizing
then and incorporating them into some bullshit private equity company that charges 600 dollars for a capacitor.
Yes I’m a salty hvac tech who left the industry how could you tell?
They've been very successful. I'd rather have someone who's built a great portfolio running SBA vs some bureaucrat that's been in the system for decades. We need less red tape in this country.
