As we revel within the pleasure and marvel of Thanksgiving, allow us to be significantly grateful {that a} good variety of billionaires are making asses of themselves. (I centered on American billionaires on this cartoon since Thanksgiving for Billionaires is, after all, a U.S. vacation.)
Elon Musk is doing the most effective job of opening our eyes to the truth that, simply since you’re a billionaire, you might be not mechanically a genius who brilliantly turns your each endeavor into gold. (Thank you, Twitter!)
Sam Bankman-Fried will not be tweeting fairly as insanely as Elon, however he has accomplished a masterful job of exhibiting that he’s, in actual fact, simply an strange enterprise hack and crypto scammer rolled into one. (Unfortunately, hundreds of standard folks have misplaced boatloads of cash due to SBF.)
One factor to recollect, it was once loads tougher to be a billionaire resulting from (gasp!) progressive tax coverage. I attempt not to think about what packages in training, psychological well being or housing might have been funded with the fortunes pissed away by tax-phobic billionaires.
Oh, and, Happy (actual) Thanksgiving!
