What’s the use of having “fuck you” money if you use it to say “thank you, sir, may I have another”?

That’s a really polite way to say that they’re “pu$$y a$$ b*ches”.

Guys like Bezos have been America's main cash crop for at least 50 years.

1) These powerful Americans rely heavily on Federal contracts for their wealth 2) Today's oligarchs are unlike previous generations. Gilded age barons had strong sense of legacy. They built things which became public works: libraries, hospitals, museums. Little redeeming value from this gen.

Never forget. The press, the titans, republicans all revealed themselves to be enablers of a monstrous cruel administration, and servants of Trump.

There’s such a long list of quislings, kapos and collaborators in today’s America, that books will be written on them for decades. I hope one day they will be shamed as they deserve.

It’s the money! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM either fear having their bloated federal allowance cut or afraid of regulation. Both need to happen.

Or maybe it's the lawsuits. And the need to stay on the good side of an autocratic president. bsky.app/profile/rbre...

“Do not obey in advance.” - Timothy Snyder

"ostensibly honorable and right-thinking"

They are trying to slow the inevitable. They may slow it enough that it never comes, actually... But then we will all be dead, rich or poor.

They were never right-thinking: they were bending the knees to tyrant in China why they will not bend to their own one

not entirely sure they were honorable before (e.g. worker exploitation, etc), but certainly not now....

I watched a documentary on the rise of the Third Reich last night. The similarities are unsettling.

Remoras.

Whowouldathot the guy who denied his workers piss breaks would support a greedy authoritarian?

That’s a joke right? The NYT doesn’t know *why* libertarian billionaires (libertarians now that they have all the money…) are perfectly happy letting Trump steal whatever he wants and destroy whatever he wants - so well watch trump instead of the Project 2025 infestation?

That “made of the wrong stuff” part 🎯

Bezos suffers from low T.. all that steroids and HGH .. he is castrated

The pressure doesnt create the cowardice, it reveals it. Same pattern in Europe: years of hedging on Ukraine, then panic when the bill comes due. Institutions only hold if the people inside them do.

Pressure shows who stands by their principles and who folds

This has ALWAYS been the case. It is part and parcel why authoritarians can slide into power so easily. Their biggest fear? Not making the kind of money they are now. the vast majority of them are not altruistic. They’re all money grubbing thieves who have no honor. Cartoon Villains.

The finance guys drive my wife crazy- all these highly paid Ivy League guys who are only successful by betting with other’s money or flouting regulations

The powerful caved to Donald Trump because they never had an internal moral compass. Which is likely how they became "powerful" in the first place.

It really makes zero logical sense that people with "fuck you money" can't just say "fuck you" when someone threatens them with the amount of money under their couch cushions.

Greedy corrupt charlatans.
