It’s crazy to me that we live in a world where money and celebrity implies influence, and credentials don’t mean much on a general public stage. This man can tweet something insane and its taken as a serious discussion point.
Given that money can buy influence, it is a legitimate risk to society, I get that. But how crazy is that as a concept?
This is such a great example of the potential consequences of making a decision without understanding the landscape/context. It’s obvious this would happen in hindsight.
Exactly.
At the end of the day people like him are allowed to have so much influence because of regulations (or lack there of). Tax them, hold them accountable legally, something.
