She’s just mad that tariffs are hurting her wallet
Gotta be it. The Walton family have been pro-Republican anti-labor forever. Makes you wonder how many undocumented people WalMart has working for them in stores and warehouses, plus are employed in working with all the cheap produce and dairy they sell.
It’s all fun and games for ICE until the people start shooting back.
You know thing are bad when billionaires start being good.
This isn’t “being good”.
This is simply her acting against tRump out of self-interest which coincidentally also happens to be acting against the same source of problems that the rest of us face.
Not good. Acting on its own self interests, which isn’t always a dure thing.
Those self interests aligning with ours, however, is, an indicator that this is not just an extinction level threat, because there are lots of those where they don’t ever, but a fucking bad one.
We welcome all bourgeoisie class traitors. Don’t let the endless purity tests get in the way of success.
This is a good attitude. The cynicism is well-earned, but ultimately self-defeating. Not all wealthy people are intentionally and actively hostile, and even if they are, sometimes it is effective to turn enemies into allies, maybe just temporary ones, or even just avoid fighting the least rewarding ones at all if it’s not going to cost you anything and lets you combine your forces to focus on the battles that really matter. This is class war, and war calls for strategy. Fight smart and spend our limited resources wisely. Trump and Muskrat are about a million times more direct of a threat to our survival than JB Pritzker or the Waltons. You don’t have to trust any of them, but it’s a strategic blunder to waste time and energy attacking the ones who aren’t attacking us. Don’t depend on them if you don’t have to, but let them try to help, if they can.
Well said. I’ll take this or Gates or Buffett over the Murdochs, Musks, Kochs, Thiels of the world.
We need all the powerful allies we can get.
It helps when they say they’ll get rid of their billions after death, like Gates recently said. I don’t particularly trust them to actually do that, although his and Buffetts actions do suggest they don’t just want to hoard wealth like an dragon. They like influence too much to prematurely give up that wealth, though.
Worth noting that in the case of Gates at least, he has already given away $100 billion and I think committed another $200 over the next 20 years. There is some sound reasoning too that he shouldn’t just dump it all at once, as it’s harder to track corruption.
He is “donating” to his own charity, where he won’t have to pay a dime in taxes as his children inherit the foundation… it’s a tax and financial trick, don’t be fooled by it. Gates is not our friend.
Even if he donated to other charities, it still wouldn’t be taxed, because the incentive is indeed to donate to charities in the first place. If I was him, I’d do the same because at least I could better track how the money got spent.
Can you show me a dime of that $100 billion already allocated that went to things like improving health systems in Africa, and fighting things like Malaria, AIDS, and Tuberculosis that instead went back to himself or his kids?
The Gates Foundation was expelled from India after they were found to be making women infertile without their knowledge.
Gates Foundation was expelled from India
They were not found to be making women infertile, and they currently have an office in Delhi, India.
lol bullshit.
That’s not even what I asked.
Not all. elon is still a nazi.
If Elon wants to swap sides we should encourage it. Hell, if Elon wants to make a bid for King as well there’s an argument that we should support it to a specific degree.
Throw a chair into the proverbial ring.
If Elon wants to swap sides we should encourage it.
If democrats cozy up to elon, it’s not elon who has changed sides.
Throw a chair into the proverbial ring.
kiss the proverbial ring.
You’re delusional. If we get out of this it will be in spite of you reactionaries like you.
Get perspective.
Elon is a nazi.
You can’t wait to do whatever he wants.
This is the correct attitude.
Is it being a class traitor though? Maybe she just realizes that her dollars are worth more than rubles for a reason, a reason that is very much now in question.
If anyone should support the rule of law, it’s the billionaires. We should all be on the same side against fascism.
Maybe. I don’t know. I’m just asking questions.
Trumps tarrif policy is costing her millions a day, I wouldn’t be surprised to see other billionaires come out against Trump, especially if they can hide their real reasons behind things like this.
A broken clock is right two times a day. The rich do not share our concerns.
Well, they share our concern of not wanting the economy to be completely obliterated by tariffs.
Wow a billionaire paid for an ad, One Ad… From what half a second of her daily earnings…
Wake me up when it’s an ad campaign.
I too heap scorn on people who don’t do everything this guy thinks is appropriate.
So is maga gonna boycott walmart now?
Yes. Or try to. This is so weird.
Mon Walmartha
Is she the one that has something like 100+ DUIs that she has had swept under the rug?
Least horrible billionaire.
There was probably nothing good in TV. She’s gonna have her butler heat up some nice popcorn and enjoy the show.
