If you see a rich person in the media, it's because they're stupid.
I don't mean celebrities or social media people or actors or whatever, entertainment people.
I mean Jeff Bezos or this asshole Elmo Musky.
The smart billionaires avoid attention. The Sackler family that pretty much runs the pharmaceutical industry. Or the Walton family that runs Walmart.
These people and people like them, they're the ones to watch. They sit back quiet-like and donate efficiently and basically rule a portion of the world with minimal muss and fuss.
Yeah, and smart billionaires make the news for shit like “donated 500 million dollars to combat disease in third world countries, and also built a bunch of schools.”
The headlines generally leave out the part where they donated the money to their foundations, which they control, and there’s a bunch of tax fuckery afoot, because they actually are doing some things to help. Without the philanthropy, it’s just “rich folks dodge taxes.”
