This is the most simp-y shit I’ve ever heard of. You don’t bail out a billionaire.

The US government does it consistently.

Cause the politicians simp for billionaire donations

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 57 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really hate the term "simp" but it really fits here. Having legions of people pledging scraps of cash to literally the wealthiest personon Earth is just so... pathetic.

Yeah I generally avoid that word, but this is nearly textbook.

It’s conservatroids trying to show that they have economic power too. They have big spending companies too! Like Babylon Bee! Yeah! Take that, libs!

Lol. Also, I’ve run ads on Twitter and it was a waste of money. Facebook ads work 100x better. Reddit was awful too. So these dicks are just pissing money away. After all - there’s a reason they weren’t already big spending advertisers on Twitter: because it sucks.

They’d just be burning the money anyway.
