    I so very hope this idiot asshole winds up either jailed and/or has his wealth severely diminished and most of his businesses fail from being unable to repay loans / convicted of fraud.

    He’s the closest person on earth to becoming Horatio from the Endless series, yet he’s also basically a badly written Bond villain.

    What a pos.

      Jail would be too easy for him. I want him to be on “Would you like fries with that?” for a living. Forced to pander to the people he looked down on in order to put food on the table. Bonus if he also has to work three minimum-wage jobs he hates for a total of sixty hours or more a week.

        This would happen in a just world.

        It won’t though.

        Reminds me of the recent millionaire guy who got lambasted on YT (i think his actual posts were on TikTok?).

        Guys, I am going to lock up my money, my phone have no contacts and go to a new city and start from nothing and earn a million dollars in 30 or 90 days or something.

        Whoah big surprise, a few weeks in he has to call the whole thing off for health reasons.

        OMG he got robbed? Lost his paper work and thus couldn’t get the right aid? The shelters are full? Sleeping outside in a city is extremely dangerous and unhealthy? Your hygiene suffers? No one talks to you or treats you like a human being?

        In a just world we’d put the income tax levels back to around FDR levels and thus be able to actually fund social programs and eliminate a great deal of the wealthy’s massive over representation in politics.

        Instead it looks like we will be making a b-line toward theocratic corporatocracy.

        Blargh.

        Edit: Income and Corporate tax levels.
