    Entertainers could be an exception to the evil billionaire rule, but even Swift was doing things like renting out her jet, and her shows have a huge carbon footprint as well.

    If she were paying for the pollution, the profit margins wouldn’t be so high.

    Also we just need to tax most of the income over $1 million a year. Like we did before the 80s greed is good bullshit started.

      Like this, it should just be harder by the mechanics of the game to just keep amassing dollars. Sure, you can have massively successful concerts and live an amazing life. Just pay for them in what it actually costs to society.
