I don’t think you’re really addressing my comment, which is just a criticism of how folks write about these “hypocrisies.”
Of course it’s not fair; that’s the entire foundational pillar on which capitalism rests. I’m not saying “hate the game, not the player”. Rather I’m saying the game is bullshit and the player should have his balls kicked with steel toed boot repeatedly.
Ok, what do you suggest? There isn't any alternatives. You can just ignore the opinion of some billionaire and be done with it.
We do not have the option to ignore the opinions of billionaires. Their opinions become government policy through lobbying and it impacts us all.
There'd be alternatives if people didn't give up before ever looking for them.
