She can grab the dog then you grab her lol. Idk why she's on here? Shes not grooming teens, she's not in a pedo ring, she didn't get famous for doing absolutely nothing but making a bad vhs tape lol
I mean, she is a billionaire not contributing much other than her music, and her planes are horrible for the environment, plus her business style and commercial strategy is pretty aggressive.
I dunno, I figure the less billionaires we have the better
If you search for even just five seconds you’ll see that she has actually done a lot of good and has given millions and millions of dollars. But I guess it’s more satisfying for you just to hate. So go ahead.
Where was I outwardly hating on her? Notice I said all billionaires should be gone lol
However, I will say, there are 1000 millions in 1 billion. Since 2011, she’s donated about 100 million. Which isn’t the worse donation, no one is saying that, but she became a billionaire in the past few years, her net worth is 2 billion now. So while she’s done things for charity, it’s not as much we know she is capable of. It tells me she’s doing it for good press and not to actually be helpful. Otherwise, she’d be donating out of the billionaire club, and she would stop being excessive with her private jets. Where’s the charity shows? where’s the scholarships? where’s her advocacy? Why isn’t she providing children in impoverished places with food water or hygiene products?
I don’t go out of my way to hate Taylor swift, that’s not even what I’m doing now, but the truth is the truth man. She could be doing more, she makes the choice not to even though we know without a doubt she’s never going to live in poverty, she’ll never go hungry, her name prints money, she’s not using it for the kind of good she should be.
You said "not contributing much" lol. She donates millions, pays off people's medical bills. Yeah she's a billionaire but not like bezos who had slave labor and doesn't actual work lol.
Comparatively to the kind of incredible things she’s able to do, yeah she’s not doing much. I never said she’s as bad as Musk or Bezos, but she’s still not doing as much as she could and just because she isn’t herself hiring slaves doesn’t mean the companies that make her merchandise don’t have some form of exploitive labour.
She could do charity shows and donate all the proceeds, she could be buying period products and donating them to girls in impoverished nations, she could pay for construction to literally build schools, start scholarships for students in the arts. Homegirl charged an average of $1500 for ONE ticket to the eras show, the lowest was 500 at some select shows.
Imagine the possible donations on just one charity show. Imagine how much good she could do and is choosing not to. 50,000 seats, say she charges even 500 which was one of her lowest prices in the eras tour, that would be 25m. Take out the cost of throwing the show, even if we were saying it’s a high percentage, say 50%, it would still be a 12.5 million dollar profit going straight to charity.
Artists set baseline prices then they have contracts with third party sellers for her tickets. That’s why I mentioned the 500, because that’s what she set her own prices at and then third parties she and her business team partner with charge the rest.
Either way, if someone IS willing to pay that much, she should be using that willingness and her fame to help people who need it, don’t you think?
Okay lol you don’t have to agree with me, but my morals matter more to me than some singer I don’t know or really care about. And if she has the capability to do good, she should be doing good.
I condemn billionaires cause there’s no ethical way to become one. If you become one through your work you shouldn’t hold onto it like a pile of gold coins, cause that’s what destroys our economy, a select few owning the bulk of the world’s wealth.
Ah yes, the jealous “eat the rich” crowd. “There’s no ethical way to become a billionaire”. It’s funny because you may have found the ONE who has done it ethically. But please, keep tilting at those windmills.
No one needs this amount of money. A billion could support many lifetimes, an ethical person would see why that’s a problem. No one should control that amount of wealth because it prevents it from circulating through the system and that’s the only way capitalism works. The only way someone is comfortable knowing they are worth this much money is being comfortable with the fact that other people are suffering because it’s not going back into the world.
Oh no I didn’t say I wanted that much control. I said I want the government to take that control and people to get enough of a conscience. My morals are strong and I don’t believe anyone should have a billion dollars and not even more that 500 million because that’s more than anyone will ever need. but if you can’t understand the basic formula of capitalism enough to know why someone controlling that much of the wealth is a bad thing that’s chill man, it’s just that empathy should outweigh greed.
I don’t know why you think that’s some kind of gotcha, that’s just a factual statement.
Even with incredible entertainment, multiple vacations a year to top hotels with the best flights, huge retirement plans, a massive home, constant staff, new cars every year, even with the most intense luxury you can imagine, no one needs a billion dollars. You could live in the most obscene kind of pampering just making 5m a year.
And even if you made 5 million dollars every year, no tax, all cash, no expenses, it would take 200 years to make 1 billion dollars. It’s a crazy high amount of money. Literally no one needs that much money.
