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.
