Yeah. Trump can get fucked, but so can Swift.

There are no ethical billionaires

Yeah how many people in the music industry's labor value has she taken?

I mean, there's billionaires and there are asshole billionaires... I don't give two flying fucks about pop music, but she treated her people pretty well (originally read about this from a trucker friend) - https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2023/08/04/taylor-swift-says-thank-you-to-eras-tour-workers-by-handing-out-checks/?sh=1011ea6470f6

so while I'd prefer no or fewer billionaires, I'd really prefer rich people who treated their entire ecosystems well over the current hellscape.

oh and TAX THE RICH. If they can stay billionaires by building new industries and competing for great workers by negotiating in good faith with union labor, that's fine.

Trader joe, SpaceX/Tesla Amazon and a bunch of other fucks are trying to destroy the entire NRLB, because they hate unions and think they can get away with it. FUCK THEM.

There are no good billionaires. Nobody can possible "earn" a billion dollars in one life time, that's impossible. If you're a billionaire, you are one because you stole wealth from those people below you, by paying them improperly, or screwing them. If Taylor is a billionaire it means she hasn't paid her people enough, and that she's charging too much for her work.

Provide one proof that she doesn't pay her people enough. Also, people can choose to give her money if they like. It's not like she's a monopoly making a lifesaving medicine and people have no choice but to give her money.

I know she doesn't pay them enough because she has enough leftover to be a billionaire

That's not a proof. She is not a company that has to pay their employees miserably to make profits. She makes music and has fans that willingly give her money through concerts, merch, etc. In contrast, here is an article about how she gave huge bonuses to her tour truck drivers.
