    That man is repeatedly showing the world how stupid he actually is and how little he actually understands about running a company. He has never been in a situation like this where he wasn’t surrounded by a bunch of people playing babysitter and doing all the leg work to try to actually get his shit ideas to work. IIRC I saw somewhere this morning that he hadn’t even figured out what to call tweets and retweets, he really hadn’t thought any further than changing the logo and repeating the same lame idea he had 30 years ago.

      Or all billionaires are scum who have written the laws and ensured that the fine for this is no more than an annoyance and removing the sign without a permit was a worthwhile risk and the right call to make.

        This guy gets it.

        I think “all billionaires are scum” is perhaps too harsh, but it’s far closer to the truth than the views of society at large.

            Rowling became a billionaire by writing popular books and selling the movie rights. She’s a scummy person, obviously, but she didn’t become rich by being one.

              Yeah you definitely can become a billionaire without being a scummy person, just not trough business. You need to be an artist or athlete.

                Definitely not going to be a CEO without being a piece of shit. You need that lack of ethics to make it that high.

              Most of the Harry Potter stories are stolen/copies of either existing young adult novels or existing mythology. There’s very little original material or concepts. All writers borrow from other writers, but Rowling is just barely better than a plagiarist.

            I’m pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I’m totally not biased.

            Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I’m exempt because I am a honorary proletariat

            /s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they’ll soon get corrupted by the wealth
