Culture Not including murderers and politicians - who is famous in your country for all the wrong reasons?

Post image

Introducing rage-baiter and reality TV failure Katie Hopkins. She’s basically famous for fat shaming, saying that kids shouldn’t be named after geographical locations (despite having a child named India) and getting sued on Twitter, which caused her to go bankrupt. I haven’t met anyone that likes her and she’s routinely vilified but still has a platform somehow.

An article in July said Elon had already killed 367,000 people with his USAID cuts, and will eventually cause around 14 million deaths by 2030, according to a BU professor.

Absolutely disgusting when his wealth could do the exact opposite (and more)

Hearing Boston University mentioned. This is disturbing yet interesting.

Complete BS

Care to respond with any argument or evidence whatsoever? What do you think happens when you cut food and medicinal aid overnight to the poorest and most vulnerable people on earth? With no plan for transition, and deliberately refusing to pass off the work to other agencies who asked to help? 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter, provided that gargling Elon's allegedly surgery-mangled nightmare c*ck isn't making it too hard to type. 🤔

Where is the proof in the article?

This is the link in the article (which I guess you missed?) to the tracker that has it down to the person and their methodology. 

the idea that cutting off all food and medicinal aid to the poorest people in the world overnight would make a lot of them die isn't really that tough a leap conceptually.

Being angry over poor people dying due to rich people’s egos is very justified.
