      If you’re asking about the photo, I believe that’s a screenshot of Oprah and The Rock, who are a billionaire and a multi-millionaire, asking people to donate for the Maui fires.

        Which isn’t inherently wrong if they have donated themselves. They have a massive audience they can reach out to. I think people just like shitting on rich people. Which is fine they can take it.

      Only how the economy is so rough that the capitalist class barely earned enough money in the budget to increase their wages by 20% this quarter from $37 million to $44 million
