    Not sure I’ve heard Swift described as “scummy” before.

    And if you’re so against billionaires and politicians, why are you for the billionaire politician from the party who wants to cut taxes for billionaires, and not the candidate from a working class background who wants to increase taxes for billionaires?

        If you vote and support people with blood on their hands you are directly evil. If you push a two side narrative when it clearly not you are misleading people

      Scummy is a kind word for someone who fly his private jet to buy groceries. We are talking about one of the biggest polluting individual on the planet.

      And if you’re so against billionaires and politicians, why are you for the billionaire politician from the party who wants to cut taxes for billionaires, and not the candidate from a working class background who wants to increase taxes for billionaires?

      I’m neither for a billionare or for a genocide supporter. If you believe calling these out is showing them support you are probably a victim of their propaganda.

        I don’t believe Swift buys her own groceries, or that anyone on her staff takes a jet to the grocery store. That’s just dumb.

        I think it’s ridiculous that we have a system where someone can make billions singing songs while people providing essential functions have troubles making ends meet, but I haven’t heard any credible evidence that Swift exploits her staff.

          You just described how the exploitation works these days. By definition no billionare is kind: if you and me or the average person would turn into a billionare we would give so much money away that we wouldn’t be billionare anymore. A billion is more than 999 millions, imagine wanting more than that. Don’t expect anyone who seek that much wealth to be kind to others, their charity is the equivalent of the average person tipping 10 cents, probably less if you do the math.

          Plane flights are tracked and public even for private jets, you can search for her rides. A quick search show they once did a minute flight to avoid a traffic jam…
