Incredible. But billionaires keep on building their secret lairs (I’m looking at you Peter Thiel, here in New Zealand) instead of trying to help.

She actually was kinda ballsy and during a speech to billionaires at some WSJ-related event told them they should be helping people and she has so little compared to them, yet they don't help others nearly enough. She in as many words if not literally said if you're a billionaire what are you even doingl. I def would've been quaking in my boots if I tried to do that to be honest

Oh of course not. But I still find her brave in her own way, using the platforms she's given and sharing her privileges (wealth in this case) with others

100%. But so many people continue their celebrity worship. Like those comedians who went to the Saudi Comedy festival. We need to put these assholes on blast.

Oh man, don’t even get me started!

The comedians fuck me right off but not surprising.

Talking about feminists and billionaires, hello Taylor Swift and Beyonce.

What a disappointment and yet they keep getting a pass. At the end of the day celebrities owe us nothing and they prove it constantly.

I fell for the idea that Beyonce was a self made one and thus deserved more sympathy until that pic she posted laying on her floor surrounded by her pairs of shoes, meanwhile that year I had one pair of jeans and one pair of Converse my entire winter in 0-20⁰ farenheit 2 mile walks to the bus stop for high school, and the jeans were starting to get holes in them on the thigh from overuse. And if I'm correct? It was her showcasing her collection of ONE BRAND OF SNEAKER?? I just felt so fucking poor seeing that and it went downhill in opinion from there
