    let’s just forget for a second what he did or not in epstein’s island, being a billionaire is bad wether the person is an asshole or not. it means we live in a socio-economic system that enables someone to concentrate an insane amount of resources and decide solely out of his mind how to direct the spending of those resources. that they are not being used entirely to solve global warming or world hunger or disease issues is problematic and it’s not some token value spent on charity or point-based solutions that is going to change that. the fact that he doesn’t want to break the patents of covid vaccines is pretty much an example that, when pressed hard enough, he will act on the interest of his class, regardless of what he personally thinks.

    the fact that he associated with epstein, independently of his reasons, is just the cherry on top of that shit sundae.
