Anyway, I love women. My life is sustained by my connection with women. And I truly believe that there is no other force more powerful on this earth than the love a woman has for another woman. I love all of you so very very very much.
Thank you! This has been bugging the fuck out of me forever. If I was a multi billionaire you can be damn sure I'd do shit like fix Flint. But none of them do. Not the Waltons, not Bezos, not Soros, not Buffet. Left or right, it doesn't matter.
I really just do not understand the ultra-rich.
Like, the Flint water crisis, right? I just read an estimate that it would take $55 million to bring clean water back to Flint. That sounds like a lot of money until you consider that’s less than a tenth of a billion dollars. Jeff Bezos is worth $118 billion. For less than .05% of his net worth, Jeff Bezos could bring water back to an entire town. At the most money I have ever had in my bank account, .05% of it could buy me like a burger. And not even a particularly nice one.
And let’s say, yeah, the ultra-rich are soulless monsters devoid of empathy or altruism. For .05% of his net wealth, Jeff Bezos could completely turn his public image around. Instead of being the asshole who exploits his workers, suddenly he’s the unlikely hero who saved an entire town.
