    My idea is that: 100 billionaires make bullshit with their private jets: I sleep. Taylor swift make buillshit with her jet: Real shit?

    We are only clowning on the women billionaire and ignoring all others who do similar shit.

    (and about the men vs man thing, english is my second language, I meant man)

      The glaring difference to me is that Taylor tries to project an image of being a better billionaire. And, in a lot of ways, she IS, so it’s more glaring when she shits the bed with something as dumb as a private jet. She does philanthropy, she fights back against the music industry’s bullshit, she’s even pretty outspoken about the climate, but she can’t ground her jet unless absolutely necessary?

      She’s still a billionaire. She still sucks. But she does marginally better than the rest. Now step up the rest of the way. Until then, criticisms are valid.

      Regarding man vs men, the singular vs plural doesn’t matter. It’s that none of this is gendered. Starbucks CEO (I think it’s telling that I don’t respect him enough to know his name) sucks. Gates sucks. Buffet sucks. Swift sucks.
