    God I hate the circle jerking of Cuban. There is no “good one.” His PR team is working OT to paint this completely BS image. Fuck him.

      Absolutely came here to say this. There are no ethical, innocent, or good billionaires. None. You cannot make that much money without disregarding or hurting people.

      We need to stop blocking for and idolizing these fucks.

        Billionaire evil is a sliding scale from normal rich guy evil to comic book villain evil. He’s less bad than his peers, even if the stuff he does (like the cost plus drugs thing) are maybe just for PR.

        We eat him later than others. But we do eat him.

          You think she’s ethical, innocent, or good? Yikes. She works hard to present a non-offensive to either side persona, that doesn’t make her ethical, innocent, or good.

            Sounds like you think all people are terrible. What a sad way to go through life. I feel sorry for you

                Wow a random blogger has an opinion? You automatically win the argument, congrats.

                  There was more than one link in my comment. Also, that’s just a sampling of the search results; you’re sure to find more compelling stuff out there if you put more effort into looking than I did.

                    #1 and #3 are random blogs. #2 is a student publication so barely one notch above “random blogger”, but anyway if the best criticism one can levy at Swift is her use of a private plane, she must be more ethical than I thought. Can you imagine the clusterfuck if she traveled commercial? Airports are already a disaster as it is, without being bottlenecked by paparazzi and screeching elder millennial wine moms. She’s doing us all a public service by avoiding that situation.

                  You cant say shes a “good” billionaire and then dismiss it as everyone is imperfect.

                  Look i like swift and i believe its possible for there to be a “good” billionaire but swift is definitely not it

                    Lol I don’t even think they’re being a troll. I think they think they’ll gain something from licking billionaire ass.

                    Ah, everyone who disagrees with you is a troll. Nice reductive way to simplify your meager existence
