Summary
Progressives criticized the attendance of billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos at Donald Trump’s inauguration, labeling them “billionaires’ row” and emblematic of an administration prioritizing the wealthy.
Critics argue the inauguration, funded by over $200 million in corporate and lobbyist donations, signals a pro-billionaire agenda.
Trump’s proposed Cabinet includes 13 billionaires, with a combined net worth of over $460 billion, and aims to push tax cuts for the rich.
Bernie Sanders and other progressives warn against “government by the billionaires, for the billionaires.”
Step up immediately. It is extremely unlikely that any one individual billionaire is that much more skilled than the executives immediately beneath them that the corporation would collapse with their death.
Amazon will continue even if Bezos were to pass.
Wouldn’t it be a better Amazon without the chief asshole?
Also the replacement would probably be a bit less exploitative, knowing death is around the corner otherwise
that’s not likely
