Is she though? From the article:
“Lots of people are offering to contribute, which I truly appreciate, but there are many other women’s rights orgs that could do with the money, so donate away, just not to me!”
I’m not saying don’t boycott her. I’m just pointing out that alone won’t do much, if anything, to prevent her from hurting people.
While I do agree that we shouldn’t support her, boycotting really won’t do anything in this case. She’s a billionaire. If she stopped getting any money right this moment, she’d still have plenty left to keep hurting people for the rest of her life, and then some. We need better laws to protect the vulnerable. That’s basically the only way aside from taking away her and other billionaires’ wealth and redistributing it
I wish my company would follow suit. But no. We somehow keep digging ourselves deeper into the toxic M$ cesspit. At this point, at least a quarter of the tickets we get is about one of their products shitting the bed (Outlook, Excel, Exchange, Windows itself—you name it) and us looking for workarounds to patch things up. Recent patch broke DHCP service on some servers. At this point, their updates and patches are less reliable and more dangerous than a random project on Github in alpha stage meant only for personal use.
Daily vacuuming, sometimes helped by a robo vacuum. Or you get a breed that doesn’t shed/is low shedding.
Back during his first presidency, I watched I think it was Mars rover landing. There was a press conference after the successful touchdown where he was speaking. At this point I knew the man was a stupid POS, but I’d never actually heard him speak for more than 10 seconds.
Whoo boy. Not only was his body language and cadence annoying, he was talking absolute, mindless nonsense. I clicked off the stream and decided to come back later to catch actually smart people talking. Joke’s on me. Literally – in the original meaning of the word – an hour later he was still babbling nonsense. I was genuinely shocked at how much and for how long this man could talk with zero substance or coherence. The fact that so many people think he “says it as it is” either tells me these people a) never heard him speak for longer than 10 seconds, b) never actually listened with understanding, but just nodded along because he’s not a “lib’rul” or c) are actually genuinely so dumb, but by some incredible stroke of luck they’ve survived long enough to vote for him.
True, though IMO these things would come her way anyway because people like the franchise and corpos take advantage of it, and many people don’t know she’s a bigot.
But my original point still stands. You could take all that away today, and she’d still be able to hurt people with her wealth until she croaks. She’s that incredibly wealthy. Just one more reason why wealth should be capped.
