Her private jet has the most CO2 emissions out of any celebrity. She defended that by saying she rents it out, so it wasn’t all her; as if that changes how much the private jet she owns has emitted. As far as the rest of her environmental impact, it is likely no worse than other performing celebrities so not great but in larger amounts than other celebs.
She does seem to do well by her support staff. She gave out $55m in bonuses to everyone who worked on her last tour.
She has donated a lot, but I couldn’t find out if she has donated over the deduction cap or if she claimed the donations. As far as I can tell the majority has been given to food insecurity charities and disaster relief. So even if it is a tax scheme, she seems to be giving in the right direction.
I am not a fan of her music, but she doesn’t seem like a terrible person except that she has unimaginable wealth, a massive platform, a highly influential brand, and isn’t doing as much as she could to help others.
Not when you’re a billionaire buckerino.
Taylor swift might be a slightly more ethical billionaire than the rest, but the fact that she is a billionaire at all is a symptom of the underlying systemic problem - the ideal number of billionaires in our world in its current state, is ZERO. Nada. Null.
You can sit there and sigh all you want, but a billionaire who’s even slightly morally upright won’t be a billionaire for long.
The only billionaire I’ll ever consider as even slightly ethical, or as someone to look up to, is Chuck Feeney, god rest his soul.
Second of all they’re right. It IS exhausting being like this, but someone has to do it. Because if people aren’t being exhaustingly fed up of the status quo, billionaires will keep fucking us up, down and sideways. I almost wish I COULD be like Ilovethebomb. Ignorance, willing or not, is bliss afterall…
The mindset behind this comment confuses me. Who do you think is more called to action by their beliefs, the one who vehemently opposes the status quo or those one who is apathetic to/ supports it?

There’s no pleasing some people, is there?

It must be exhausting being like you.
It must be exhausting making excuses for people hoarding unfathomable amounts of wealth, or are you paid to do that?
Won’t someone think of the billionaires?!

Do you actually think you’re changing anything by being like this?

You didn’t answer my question.
Do you think being insufferable on the Internet will change the world in any measurable way?
No, winding you up is something I do for fun.
not if people like them. I like them.
