Ah I see so she not only gets to continue to benefit personally from the unearned wealth she’s hoarding, but also gets to commit further exploitation to steal yet more wealth from the working class and redistribute it unilaterally however she sees fit, just because she gives some of it to charity. Are you not aware that most if not all of the charities rich people donate to are really just a tax dodge, and the charity itself only serves to promote the political interests of the billionaires that fund them? I guess not because you can see the nuance in being an evil wealth hoarding dragon but not in “donating” to “charity”. Educate yourself first before you try to educate others chucklefuck. You’ll look like less of a naive dipshit.
Keeping such a black & white view of things makes you no better than MAGAts, IMHO. There’s nuance to everything, and if you can’t be bothered to consider it then YOU are making yourself part of the problem.
If you bothered to look into things & think them through, you’d see she’s using her wealth to generate even more money she can donate to good causes. If she just gave away everything she got out of the marriage right away, she’d be approaching the bottom of her barrel right about now instead of having much more to contribute to good causes as she now does.
Step back from the anger, and get a bigger view of things, eh?

Whatever you say. I’m not the one blindly hating an entire class of people without treating each on as an individual, much like any other bigot. Your blind hatred is demonstrated by the fact you act like giving away a third of her net worth - even after accounting for her gains - is just a “tax dodge.”
I get the anger and share it to an extent, but not to the point of blind rage that makes one no better than any other bigot.

Hate to break this to you, but billionaires are not a “class” in the same way merchants or workers are. The problem with being a billionaire is that by the mere fact of being one, you are already on the wrong side of history. If any of them had morals, they would immediately divest enough wealth to others to become not a billionaire. But they don’t. Because they are still billionaires. Including the one in your example.
As the person above said, there are no good billionaires, full stop.

She’s unelected, and dictates the disbursement of a great deal of unearned funds.
Big picture, no nuance needed: it’s feudalist to let her make these decisions.

Grow TF up & get with reality, dude. She’s working within a system she didn’t create. When you effect a complete overhaul of how the country works, we’ll talk. Until then, she’s doing much more good than most - certainly more than the bullshit your unrealistic excuses to be judgemental are.

She is not creating the system, but is in fact reinforcing it. It is by definition undemocratic.
I am glad she’s shedding the capital, but be real, she’s never going to shed enough to come back to the realm of ordinary humans. She married an oligarch, and by being an oligarch that temporarily embarrassed billionaires such as yourself stan for, she is a shining beacon of justification for the system as it is.
I hope that once I achieve oligarch status myself, that you and I can carry on this deep conversation!

Again with the uninformed judgemental bullshit. They married before Bezos even founded Amazon. I’d suggest informing yourself before making an ass of yourself yet again, but I know I’d be wasting my time. I’ve got better things to do, so consider yourself blocked.
