The article mentions tracking these people with satellite images. What a crazy contrast between worlds.

I think the difference is that Swift is in right now.

I feel the reason she is being used as an example isn't because she's a female billionaire, but because she is a billionaire who receives adoration. The meme points out that even the "good ones" shouldn't be billionaires.

I wonder if the artist knows they perfectly recreated Avery from Rust Valley.

Can someone explain the love for Taylor Swift to me? I know she makes music a lot of people enjoy. I've heard the stories of her giving big bonuses to those who work for her. I guess all I see is a billionaire with a great PR team.

That isn't how tax brackets work. In the scenario outlined here individuals would pay 70% tax on everything they earn over 10 million. Which even further reinforces your point, as this is an enormous amount of compensation for anyone in a single year.

Says the person who didn't even read the article thoroughly enough to catch OP's mistake before the edit. Everyone is always looking for a way to feel superior. 😂

Have you not noticed that it seems to be coming back in style? I have a transparent case on my steam deck. I've seen the same mods for other consoles. I've seen transparent battery packs and transparent controllers for sale recently. Also didn't a company just release a transparent phone a couple months ago?
