that's what fucking taxes are for, and Mr. Beast needs to be taxed until his fucking channel is gone.

Why until his channel is gone? If he's a business, we need to tax him and his business appropriately. More, sure. But taxing a business until it's gone is counterproductive, even if you don't like what the business stands for...

His "business" is a charity. Charity shouldn't have to exist in a world with enough wealth to support everyone.

If his channel became something else, sure. But the point is he would be taxed until all those problems he "fixes" are solved, and then he wouldn't have much to put on his channel, would he?

If you take away the "charity" what the fuck does Mr. Beast even bring to the table?

Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you!
