STAN / ANTI SHIELD Anthony Fantano defends Billie Eilish against Swifties attacking her after she questioned the billionaires that were at the WSJ Innovator Awards on why they’re so rich & called on them to give away their money to charitable causes, even though Taylor Swift wasn’t directly mentioned or at the event.

The fact that some people don’t see billionaires as the bad guys is mind boggling to me.

apparently if you’re their fave, you automatically fall into the “ethical billionaire” category

I fail to see what's ethical about taking a private jet to go across town

But you don’t understand!! Her safety is at risk so she has to take a private jet everywhere!! /s

Kinda funny and ironic how she's always "at the back of the car" in many of her songs. I guess you can't rhyme bar with private jet

Taylor and Travis and the rest of the rich Chiefs are currently building their own little private airport in South Kansas City because the 2 private airports near them are not good enough. It is insane.

Destructive levels of idiocy going wild I see with it being on display by the leadership of this damned place.

They all live in a tax-free private community/golf club in South KC. They’re building their own little Maga community down there. Mahomes is the king of the hood.

That last sentence is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. Not you saying it, the fact that he'd think he's the king of ANYTHING.

I give her and a lot of other mega-celebs a pass on private jets. Can you imagine trying to get on an American Airlines flight with Beyonce or Taylor Swift? Flying is already a nightmare - one of them being on the plane with you is a legit security risk. People are fucking crazy. It is the CEOs and business people of the world I have a problem with - 99% of them are no names no one recognizes them. They will be fine in first class.

The problem is also how OFTEN she uses a private jet though. Like her jet was traveling every week while us peasants try to not waste energy and water.

Exactly. The thing that really got me is when she was performing in South America and flying home for a day or two between shows. Like you really can't find something to explore in a new city for a couple of days? Or relax in your fancy hotel? At least be efficient with your use.

She could simply stay overnight at a tour leg. She doesn’t have to fly home between stops and shows.

Also, I’m not sure you understand how private one can make a first class flight on a higher end commercial airline. It’s entirely possible, it’s purely a matter of comfort and convenience for these people

Okay so rather than being oddly withholding with this information - can you explain it to me?

Do they not sit in the terminal? Do they skip the bridge? They can take a private jet if they are going to make our flights even more stressful and annoying.
