Taylor Swift is the new posterchild for billionaires, but honestly, she's the least egregious example of a billionaire. She makes a fuck load of money because her concert tickets are like $1000 a pop. She's known to give huge bonuses to her tour staff. If anyone is getting exploited, its her fans, but she's literally just a performer. She's hardly manipulating stock prices and doing pump and dump schemes and not paying her staff a livable wage.

The article had nothing to do with Taylor Swift though.

Taylor Swifts name shows up before the authors name when you click into the article. it's not unfair to bring her up...

That has nothing to do WITH the article, though. The entire comment was on Taylor Swift, which the article had NOTHING to do with. Just her picture used. I am lost as to how it is relevant to the intention of the article, which was a GREAT read. This just derails the conversation to something that wasn't even mentioned.

This shouldn't be hard to logic through.

Ok so even though her name is the first name we see there in text on that page, we're not allowed to talk about her in context to the article ?
