Jeff Bezos could give all his money away tomorrow and it wouldn’t do a damn thing to fix the inequality problem.

The problem with complaining about inequality when you’re rich is that you have the absolute power to give most or all of your shit away and reduce said equality, but probably are not doing so.
Absolute garbage.
The argument of “only rich people care about their general health, surroundings, and hate vermin!” seems to be inherently flawed.
Of course. But, in an effort to avoid the, “the good ones are just like us,” trap, some go to the opposite extreme and ignore the fact that millions of Muslims DO happen to be “just like”....well, everyone else.
So, is therefore, a desire for cleaner living conditions analogous to gentrification, and further, analogous to wypipo, and further, analogous to (wait for it) the R word... (racism in some tenuously extrapolated iteration).
I mean... that’s what it FEELS like you’re saying... at least according to your title.…
Using a little algebra we can determine that this statement has also left us with the argument that “poor people don’t mind rats.” As a one time broke person, I would like to inform you that that is not, in fact, the case.
I live in a town with a very, very large Persian community, lots of Persian Muslims and Jews. The Persian Muslims my wife and I are friends with consider themselves “cultural” reform Muslims. They drink alcohol, don’t wear the hijab, have sex outside of marriage, and otherwise live lives that are about as mainstream…
I agree that it is a silly take to have on Sanders, because simply having money does not make one evil.
This is an oddly judgmental piece. You “lost [your] mind” each time you read an article about someone making the exact same mistake that you made when you were tasked with writing an identical article? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone admit to being exasperated at how someone else’s analytical skills are just as…
I too am aghast, aghast, I say, just as the Splinter writers who spent the spring compiling hit piece after hit piece after hit piece against almost every other candidate in the Democratic primaries are, that anyone would dare to imply something scuzzy about St. Bernard.
Trump? Why. Do you not understand that what is going to be discovered is that the Democratic party and their leadership knowingly used unverified Russian government provided information to get warrants to spy on American citizens and launch the Mueller investigation when it was them that colluded with Russia.?
Boo hoo. Let’s all shed a tear for the CIA and NSA ghouls who are losing their previously unchallenged power to decide what the American people are permitted to know about CIA and NSA operations.
Declassifying documents is a cover-up.
Seriously? Hosting a press conference to declare you’re innocent, after you were giving a once in a life time deal, that in NO WAY exonerated you? You don’t think that disqualifies someone from trying to claim “privacy”? Sorry. No. If he just disappeared, fine. But he went on national tv to rub it in their faces.
There are plenty of distinguished legal scholars who choose to work for nonprofit think tanks rather than feed at the corporate trough. Elizabeth Warren made her choice, now she must face the consequences.
As someone who lives in his district, I don’t think this will hurt him as much as Trump supporters want people to think it will. This is a guy that routinely explains every single vote he makes, has only missed one vote ever and it was ironically because he was being interviewed about that fact, and has regularly held…
Nah, it would be like you DMing Rihanna and her responding several times, then you tell some people that you texted Rihanna, and Rihanna is all “No way dude, we didn’t text,” knowing full well what you meant by “texted.” Dude went to semantics so fast. You’re right Kevin, you guys didn’t text, you had a conversation…
Thank you CNN and MSNBC for making this scumbag a household name...
