    That’s what I keep saying about Taylor Swift, but people just tell me that I’m a crotchety old man.

      I work with a Swift fan. They’ll cut you if you talk smack, lol. I don’t get her appeal but the observation of her fans is real.

      There are degrees of evil. Just as some cancerous cells can be benign, there also can be less harmful billionaires.

      It’s important to concentrate on the ones that are an existential threat to humanity first and foremost so we don’t lose the world pointlessly chasing after the harmless lumps.

        I agree with you. But if that’s where we are, I feel that statements like:

        …you can only become that rich if you are an utterly inhuman, unscrupulous monster…

        Are unhelpful at best and actively alienating to potential allies at worst.

          Even the most benign is unlikely to be an ally. When push comes to shove, they’ll choose their money over humanity.
