@zerowontmiss What period and region was the story set in? How did this historical piece of “fake” literature describe the setting and the characters? Who wrote it and about whom was it written. That should give you a solid baseline.
@0xleegenz The problem with Norton’s claim is there are actually a lot of us who travel regularly who aren’t given the fame and fortune treatment. We see how normal people live in other countries and it’s not at all what the media portrays. It’s not all bad but it is not a superior product.
Hey Mark, you're worth around $35 million while continuing to land major Hollywood roles. You could donate $25-30 million tomorrow and still live an extremely comfortable life for the rest of your days.
At a conservative 4% safe withdrawal rate, even a remaining $5-10 million would generate roughly $200,000-$400,000 a year in passive income, several times what the average family earns. On top of that, you own multiple luxury properties, including a New York penthouse reportedly worth around $7 million, and you're still taking on film roles that pay millions.
Lecturing others while sitting on tens of millions yourself is peak Hollywood...
As for Elon, his charitable giving has far exceeded your entire net worth tenfold. And as for the idea that he can simply "solve world hunger" by writing one giant cheque only demonstrates your fundamental misunderstanding of how global hunger actually works. It's not a problem that disappears because one wealthy person transfers money into the system.
You need a basic economics lesson and a mirror, because your hypocrisy is matched only by your lack of self-awareness.
@JBPritzker Weird how he wasn’t any of those things when he was giving money and lavish parties to the Democrat elite and minority power brokers, but as soon as he ran for president with ideas about American policy…….
@ChiefEngineerCE Corporate bean counters don’t give a shit and that’s who is running these companies. They all see labor as a net negative and look to get it as cheaply as possible. American labor is more expensive and less compliant than having a controllable and comparatively cheap labor source
Still wrapping my head around last night.
Forget what Trump said for a second. The bigger scandal is that major networks appointed themselves gatekeepers of truth — deciding what Americans could and couldn’t see, as if we’re too dumb to do our own research.
They robbed people of the chance to watch raw and unfiltered in a supposedly free country. Let that sink in.
@BladeoftheS Everyone is team enforcing our laws here. Don’t be illegal in a country that didn’t invite you. And then don’t resist arrest when you are being deported.
