      I have a non-hot take on this:

      Humans are just not evolved for billionaire levels of wealth/resource disparity.

      For most of our evolution it was impossible to hoard that much power.

      Of course these people begin to act completely nuts. They literally can’t help it.

      Disclaimer: This is not a plea for communism or some other obsolete solution.

    Dorsey has poor judgement. This has become increasingly more evident with his endorsement of Musk as CEO of Twitter as well.

    I recommend the Conspirituality podcast for the most detailed non-hot take on RFK Jr. Cornell West said it best, “He needs to put down the crack pipe!”

    How is Dorsey’s opinion supposed to matter to me?

    Business leaders have nothing in common with the rest of us, so why should we trust them to have our best interests in mind? Athletes, famous musicians, business leaders, celebrities all have one thing in common - money. They have much more of it than the vast majority of people and they generally want more of it.

    Jack Dorsey doesn’t want Democrats in power because they might “take his money”, so he’s promoting a fringe candidate to be a spoiler to Biden.

      Because he has the ability to influence the public either with his reputation or his social media platform once it gets going. There’s also a group of people who likely look up to him as someone who’s fulfilled the American dream, starting at the bottom and becoming a billionaire and sadly far too many Americans believe if they were only given the chance that would be them too so they listen to this drivel.

    Honestly when I see shit like this I think of that old anti-drug commercial on tv. “This is your brain… and this is your brain on money.”

    Why is RFK jr. bad?

    Looking at your country, he seems like a much better option than Biden, Trump, or Desantis.

    Who else would you pick?
