Jeez, come on you guys, show some respect.
A bee just died.
Seriously. We really can't afford to lose more bees.
An obedient drone serving the monarchy? Cry me a river!
In bee and ant societies, all decisions are made by adult workers through chemical voting. (Queens, larvae and drones don't get a vote, though.)
TIL that. Thanks. Now reading up on eusociality in hymenopterans.

Good bee.
bruh the amount of sht they want you to accept to read is wild, the reddit post is controversial, prob did happen unlike they're saying and back then they wouldve assumed the public would side with the man
Her sister kareena kapoor naming her kids off mass genociders of the past is kinda wild lol, one is known in the sikh religion for torturing a guru https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/aug/14/bollywoods-kareena-kapoor-subject-to-online-abuse-over-babys-name
they may be still used as common names tho for all I know and its just india getting mad over culture wars lol but ppl stopped using adolf for a reason
That whole issue sounds incredibly stupid from the outside. Would there be the same outrage if someone named their kid Ghengis? He killed even more people. Or Vlad, as in Vlad the Impaler? Or Joseph as in Joseph Stalin? Looking at this with an outside perspective, it truly sounds as the whole thing is fabricated because people just hate the marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim.

They just keep doing it and its not that long ago, also the way celebs are already treated like royalty in india its sus af to name your kids godking emperor above all
What
The article had a ton of weird conditions and didn't work well on mobile, looked it up and it had one reddit post about it with a bunch of comments which is what my comments go off.
RIP bee. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
It's too soon for distasteful comments like this.
There's no evidence the bee died. Many species can sting more than once. Hopefully the bee can go on to sting many more allergic billionaires.
You had me for a sec!
According to the article she was swallowed. Not likely to come back from that.
Someone hasn't heard of the frog and the beetle.

"I'd be very fucking chalant if a beetle just crawled out my ass" 🤣
ngl
He had me going in the first half
Ah this is terrible.
The bee population is already struggling, and there's no way this one survived after getting stuck in dude's throat.
Actually bees always die after stinging anything.
Edit: I get it people, I'm totally wrong about this - 3 people have already told me.
I thought some bees didn't have the barb? Certainly honey bees do, but there are many types.
That's somewhat incorrect. Their stingers have barbs that get stuck in skin and the like and pull out their organs when they try to extract, but that was because it evolved to pierce carapace, not skin. They can sting other insects without dying.
Also, as someone else pointed out, some bees, like bumblebees and carpenter bees,have smooth stingers that do not get stuck in skin.
Yellowjackets can sting the fuck out of you multiple times, too. I got stung by two of them last summer and then they somehow got inside my t-shirt and stung me a bunch more times before I made it inside and flung my shirt off. After waiting half an hour for the pain to subside, I picked up my t-shirt to put it back on and the two yellowjackets fell out of it, still alive. Fortunately they were as surprised as I was and I was able to stomp them before they stung me again.
Yellow jackets are wasps, not bees.
Where did I say yellowjackets were bees?
The conversation is literally around bees and how many times they can sting you before they die, and you bring up yellow jackets. If you knew they weren’t bees why did you bring them up?
They are both part of the hymenoptera order. They are not the same, but they are related evolutionarily and thus can still be relevant to discussion about bees.
thats not true. they die when they lose their stinger, which does not happen with every sting. stingers easily get stuck in human skin though which causes them to lose their stinger so easily.
And in this particular case, the soft lining of the esophagus wouldn't necessarily get the stinger stuck.
One of the my childhood friend's dad swallowed a bee once. He nearly died, and frequently said it was the worst summer of his life.
Is it possible to train bees? Asking for a friend who is very interested in bee training.
No, but maybe we could encourage the Orcas.
They already like to have fun by attacking sailboats. Orcas are comrades!
Bit hard to swallow... you'd be guaranteed to choke to death though.
nah ive seen a video of an asian guy swallowing a hornet. he was fine but his mouth was so inflated he could barely speak properly
Or, hear me out. Genetically modified bonsai orcas.
I'm assuming the biohacking community can get on that.
I’ve heard that the smell of a banana makes bees go crazy and they go into attack mode. You didn't hear that me…🐝
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoamyl_acetate#Natural_occurance
Fascinating! TIL
"Isoamyl acetate is released by a honey bee's sting apparatus where it serves as a pheromone beacon to attract other bees and provoke them to sting.[8]"
That's crazy!
wee, nice. Throw a banana at a beehive, kill a billionaire
Reminds me
"- I can't believe he's dead.
Bee the change you want to see.
Too soon, honey. A has-been has been murdered here. Shut your mouth or buzz off 🐝
I wanna bee a billionaire, so fucking bad
You've just given new meaning to the Bruno Mars song
Beelionaire
Mad props to Comrade Bee, she gave her life for the people. She will live on in our memories, deepest sympathy and condolences to her hive for their loss.
Long live the Queen
Oh. Anyway.
RIP to that poor bee :(
That bee was too good for this world
She died a hero.
Could have been a male bee too
Drones don't have stingers. Queens and workers have stingers. Queens are from worker larva that are fed royal jelly that transforms them into a queen that is capable of reproduction. Workers are technically female but they're closer to asexual.
So, that badass enby ace bee gave that motherfucker what for.
You are right if it's a honey bee. There are many other species of bees that do have males with stingers. For example many solitary bees (live alone rather than in a hive) have stingers though aren't known to sting people unless swallowed like in the OP.
The British isles have over 200 species of solitary bees so it's very possible the bee hero in question here was a male :)
Didn't even think it about it not being a honey a bee. You're right.
I just learned about solitary bees a few years ago. For some reason it has never cross my mind until I was researching these unusual blue bees in my garden which turned out to bee Blue Banded Bee which is awesome:

Is the bee alright?
If so, we have another job for it
More, like a permanent position 👍
Mission Impossible 9: we don't even know anymore, just BEElieve it.
Poor bee didn't deserve that...
Death by inhaling bee is the funniest death note entry yet.
Pouring one out for comrade bee's noble sacrifice 😞
Luigi the Bee.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some have wings & stingers.
.
No clue who the dude was, I just hate on billionaires in general.
Samesies. And I stand with you, friend.
I feel bad for the bee.
But holy shit! If this doesn't make you want to save the bees than nothing will.
I dub this bee the Buzz Bomber!
I notice your Sonic reference
I was unaware that it is a sonic reference. I was actually referring to the German V-1 rocket that was nicknamed the Buzz Bomb by the allies.
Edit: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Buzz_Bomber
Shit! Wow, mother of all coincidences!
What do we call the bee? Luigi 2?
Not to be confused with the Bee Gees.
That billionaire wasn't...

Got any bees in there?
People are downvoting you, I assume because they think you are lauding some other east Asian billionaire.
It's heavy on the philosophical metaphor, but "The Bee" goes on quite a bit about all power coming from God, etc.
Always remember this day. The day when one, small bee gave his life for the cause.
With the focus of wealth inequality, I thought I'd just share this morbid reminder from the middle ages that there is no inequality in death. It will find everyone. No amount of money will let anyone escape it. Just something to consider when you are thinking about what to pursue in life. To that extent, I do feel somewhat sorry when I hear that a billionaire has died, because I know that they likely spent most of their life pursuing things that are ultimately worthless, and it makes me re-evaluate just what I am doing with mine.
"A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm."
-Hamlet, A4S3
Eat the rich, got it 👍
But billionaires def work less than a lot of people without monies.
There are billions that work 10+ hours per day just to survive (working for and making billionaires richer).
A life with much less experiences than any billionaire, less vacations, less family time, etc.
They certainly don't have to work as much, or at all really. I recognize that there is an enormous gap between someone struggling to put food on the table and a billionaire, but it is also very easy to focus on work and increasing financial stability/independence at the detriment of more important things. It reminds of the song Cat's In The Cradle: https://youtu.be/5u-KWa3tL-0?list=RD5u-KWa3tL-0 (especially appropriate on Father's day weekend). My dad worked long hours when I was growing up, and I slept in a hallway/laundry room because he couldn't afford to rent a larger place, but he still made time for me and my siblings, and I wouldn't trade my childhood for literally all the money in the world.
Does that mean that people who are struggling to feed their family don't really need the money? No. Would it have been easier if my family had more money? Sure. But I have also noticed that peoples' lifestyles seem to grow to match their incomes, and it never seems like it is quite enough. There is always that next job or promotion or opportunity that will put you in a slightly better position and then finally it will be enough. Once basic needs met (air, water, food, shelter), I believe that money can start creating more problems for people than it solves. With tons of money comes tons of distractions, and temptations; there aren't any poor people on the Epstein list. Its easy for me to say they are horrible people and I would never engage in activities like that, but it also isn't an option for me. I can't honestly claim virtue for avoiding an evil that my situation in life doesn't allow for. Life seems much easier when nobody stops you from getting what you want, but I have to wonder if sometimes it is a blessing in disguise when they do...
Yes, but you are not describing how the elite lives, or does business/opportunities.
They have people for the toughest of work & decisions. Their only work is moving capital around & giving general ideas to people working for them. The people working for them are paid millions.
(The "manual labor", such as designs or wherever, is like a hobby, not a business/success necessity.)
There is an unimaginable difference between people with 10s of millions ("rich") vs billions.
(And, since you mention 'promotions', there is a total mentality shift between the owner class & the working class, even when the latter get paid millions.)
And/Tho workaholics aren't really tied to a class.
I know plenty of workaholics that are lower or middle class, overworking themselves bcs they can't really not do it, even when they know they are missing on family time & extra work won't provide extra finances.
No.
The whole mentality of "yo, it's really hard to be rich, not worth it, feel sorry for me" is literally just propaganda for the workers to be docile & keep working dead-end jobs.
Plenty of low-income junkies.
Plenty of low-income pedofiles.
Just their surroundings are different if they are billionaires. And their power and immunity too.
Its just people, all of it, with the difference that a few benefit from the work of/added value by many.
From what I heard, this billionaire seemed like a decent person. But who knows. There are conflicting sources.
There are no good billionaires.
Yep there are a couple thousand people with an outsized impact on society and at anytime they could organize and do a lot of good. But they all sit by quietly and actively destroy the society that gave them so much.
That's not true! No matter what kind of billionaire he was in life, now he is a good billionaire. You might also say that all dead billionaires are good billionaires.
You do not retain assets when you die. There is no such thing as a good billionaire.
They still had family and friends, and people who loved them.
I agree that having such vast amounts of money can't be a good thing whichever way you look at it, but expressing joy when someone dies is just not civilized in my opinion. It just isn't.
What good do you think will come from simping for billionaires?
I never said anyone should be simping. I'm just saying that we can have some human decency and not celebrate someone's death. It's not like his death will cause his wealth to be distributed evenly among the rest of us. No reason to throw a party and ridicule by saying shit like "is the bee okay?" (no matter how funny it is).
Great news.
The only good billionaire, is a dead billionaire.
#BeesLivesMatter
She fights for her people, not ours, but I salute her
Like most folks here, my only concern is for the bee.
That bee gave up a life of pollenating plants that would green the earth and provide food for us undeserving humans.
That bee is a true heroine! I dub her the Buzz Bomber!
👍
We should circulate a copypasta that's like "nature's fighting back!" what with the orcas and the bees and the submarines so that the billionaires will fear going out even more
... becoming even more detached from reality? There really is no good solution, is there? Well, apart from the one.
Physics says no
Think I missed something - what's the thing with orcas and billionaires?
Orcas began attacking [all] yachts as if they were sentient because their friends got struck by propellers.
Scientists said that orcas are not conscious enough to connect the two things, and that it's just an example of "pod play".
Obviously, anyone with half a brain can tell you animals can feel things and hold a grudge, but it's not scientifically rigorous
Whales are actually pretty smart. I think they are probably wiser than the scientists.
Why would they not be able to link these things? My cats can and they're dumb as hell.
It's theory of mind and consciousness level stuff. I don't really know; I read about it ages ago and that was the conclusion, it was "pod behavior" and not vengeance or something higher-level.
Basically, the bar for a behavior/explanation has to be very high in science.
That sounds like it's not vengeance unless it comes from the vengeance centre of the brain, it's just sparkling preemptive violent self defence.
Nature is healing.
Poor bee 😔
Is the bee ok?
Finally, some good news.
Oh no! Anyway...
Bee bro is the avatar of karma.
Thank the Beekeeper. Protect the Hive.
I think I would prefer the submarine to this.
Based on the simulations I've seen, yeah. I'm sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.
I can and have accepted death; I'm too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn't too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.
I read it happened over one millisecond. Not enough for the nervous system to even register something was happening.
Yea, I remember the final text said something like "dropped two weights"
If they weren't ascending at the right speed it was a motor failure. The hull was fiberglass it can't deform, it can get cracks and hold or fail. The scary stuff leading up to failure would be loud sounds coming from the hull.
Nah. From hull breach to complete obliteration would be measured in fractions of a second. There's NO possibility there was some kind of "small leak" leading to anaphalaxis. The instant one large molecule could pass the seal... goodbye smash-aroonie.
They were comparing anaphylaxis to death in the sub, not saying it was from a leak on the sub.
The "anaphalaxis" I was talking about was the alternative to the sub crush, and what happened to the billionaire that is the subject of the article, so I think you might have misunderstood me?
For you or for the billionaire? I think the bee did it better
What a way to go! All that money can't save you from nature.
Ooooooooh what a lucky man ... he-ee was ^was^ ^was^ ^was^
The world's poor..."Release the Bees!".
You would think, with all his money and outdoor polo playing, that he would KNOW that he has a severe bee allergy and carry an epi-pen.
He is a billionaire. He thinks he is special in every way! Epi-pen? That is for peasants!
Idk, I've never been stung by a bee. I might be deathly allergic, but I have no idea.
Get an appointment with an allergologue, they will sting you with a bunch of differents compounds to see which ones make you react. Then you'll know for sure whether or not you can afford to be a beellionaire
Google tells me the word is in fact allergist
I've been stung randomly twice, and once in a library right on my neck when someone swatted it away and it got stuck in my hair. Best to find it sooner than later.
How have you never been stung by a bee? I’m genuinely asking.
I’ve been stung like a dozen times.
Idk. I don't fuck with them, they don't fuck with me. Bees are pretty docile in my experience. Been stung plenty by wasps, though.
i thought you had to inject as close to the sting as possible and y'know
oh no. Where will we find another rich douche to replace him?
We're gonna need a bigger bee to address that one
Is the bee ok?
Hahahaha. Good.
This is good news, Mark.
I almost put it in [email protected] lol
Can we get an F in the chat for the bee heroine?
The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.
And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean....I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all "old wealth" and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)
It's not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn't absolutely manageable if caught early.
Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?
It's on the front page of GoFundBee!
Any med school student should know how to macguyver an airway in an emergency. They literally teach it in civilian lifesaving classes these days. My guess is this guy was such an asshole, his entire medical staff was like "bruh I am not making the hole, you do it."
I don't know which med school or civilian lifesaving courses you attend - but emergency cricothyrotomy surely isn't a skill that is taught and mastered by any of these I teach.
Cric is a delicate skill that needs repetition and knowledge - it's far from easy and not even close to what is shown in some bad TV shows.
iirc Epi-pen is the usual treatment, and those things are pretty easy to obtain.
I think that OP philpo is on to something, that the medical staff was a bit slow to deal with the situation.
Am I a bad person for laughing after reading this headline?
Yes. You should be mourning the bee.
Literally no idea who he is but I'll celebrate the death of a billionaire no matter who they are. Fuck that guy - glad he's dead.
I beg your pardon: you're glad that he's dead?
Wait til you discover what he did to his ex before the bee took him out - you might even be thrilled:

So he was India's PDiddy?
I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.
anyhow, mad props to bees. They are heroes more ways than one. I actually find this quite inspirational. No matter how small and insignificant you may feel you are, small acts can still have big consequences.
keeping all that money didn't bring more security in this regard
Frankly his lavish lifestyle of bee eating was, in retrospect, not a good idea.
The more we have animals exhibiting human behaviors, on top of whales & bees straight up attacking billionaires, the easier it is to believe in a collective subconscious.
I was once on a farm, laughing at something, and a horsefly came up and bit me on the tongue.
I had no idea why it happened, still don't, but it was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me at that point in my life.
I got a cabin out in Shenandoah one time by Luray, and all the bugs out there are frickin massive.
I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.
So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Like at least two and a half inches long. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth
Had a similar encounter with a wasp. Little bastard was blind drunk, I enjoyed seeing him trying to fly and failing out of sheer intoxication. Bumped into the umbrella stand a few times before it decided that walking was probably the better means of locomotion.
There's a video for that!
Of all the true stories of life experiences I've heard told to me over the years, that certainly is one of them.
1 down, 3027 to go
I don’t think I like your attitude
This is just literally how the world works
A friend remarked he was generous. That's why he had all those billions.
Is the bee a terrorist?
So, apropro of nothing, is it possible to train bees?

Proof that God hates billionaires.
"...slain, after all man’s devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth." - H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds
There is an entire book damning the wealthy/richbastards said to be "the word of God."
New Testament... nothing about abortions.. gay people... but lots about rich people. Particularly forgiving "prostitutes" (which I think included abandoned/divorced women).
There's also that part about usury that everyone just sorta ignores. Most Christians can't even define the word.
Now that's my kind of beellionaire!

Good.
Today is a good day
I'm not religious but: Amen to your statement.
This does mean we still get to make our annual billionarie sacrifice to the Deep Ones right?
Dude, we had a sub down, a CEO shot (and Luigi didn't do it. I am praying for an acquittal), and now this! I mean the whales are still attacking yachts, and I am hoping for more karma to land on their asses due to their own hubris.
What would be funny is that if you have someone planning to go Luigi on a billionaires ass only for them, just moments before, die in a stupid and unrelated manner... then our would be assassin just walks away not having done anything and saying 'meh, saved me the trouble!'
Ooooh, we should do one for each of the elements!
The submarine was for the Water goddess, let's say the bee was for the Wind.
Next up, Earth and Fire.
Let's do the periodic table of elements. Keep it modern and keep the process moving as 4 is not enough and we get go boil the rich in exotic metals.
This is the way.
I saw this Black Mirror episode...
The question is, are well do bees adjust in Florida? Like, around a golf course let's say?
how genetically engineered are those golf greens and will bees enter? I would think in FL, those bees would be supersized, esp. with all the tropical flora.
One down.... Many more to go.
Sounds like assassination.
(Based on nothing)
Pretty sure the CIA experimented with using bees to kill Fidel Castro.
They pretty much tried everything else....
essentially a kamikazee bee.
Bummer. I was hoping to ask whether there was a honey flavor or more of a floral sugar flavor. Apparently it's a quick death.

That's hilarious.

"Not the Onion"
RIP Poor dude :( but this is like something that happens all the time, why is this news?
I guess
Yeah not sure where a man dying of anaphylactic shock is quite the funny story I'd read on the onion that's all
I've seen this phenomenon of Zionists defending oligarchs before.
I think this is your noble contribution: https://sh.itjust.works/post/40125919
To each his own, but I'll continue to laugh at the psychos being taken out by respectable bees, orcas, and imploding submarines. As for this "poor dude" referenced in the article, let's not forget how he treated his ex:
https://www.moneycontrol.com/entertainment/when-karisma-kapoor-alleged-abuse-in-divorce-plea-sunjay-kapur-forced-me-to-sleep-with-his-friends-article-12831156.html
I just think laughing when someone dies is not civilized behavior at all. It's barbaric, no matter who has died. You could have the feeling/opinion that it was a good thing after adding all things up, but to laugh and joke and ridicule... That's just caveman style. My two cents.
Are you being sarcastic? Like poor dude(the bee) or poor dude(the billionaire)?
I don't think someone dying of anaphylactic shock is funny, I know Lemmy dehumanises everyone who doesn't follow their strict left wing criteria but yeah this is in bad taste imo
They were a billionaire, their entire life was in bad taste, fuck this sympathy for the devil bullshit.
Oh so if they have $999,999,999 they're ok? Or how many gold pieces can a person have before you consider them worthless?
It's even more futile trying to reason with anyone on here than on Reddit, don't bother.
I’m not getting into the minutia of philosophy or playing into arguments of billionaire apologia, we’d be better if every billionaire were dead, point blank, if you want to cry about the semantics and split hairs about it then do that with someone who gives a shit. I’m glad this guy is dead for a lot of reasons, the world is a better place with him as a corpse, and that’s true for every billionaire.
Reportedly the dude was also a dick, and horrible to his ex-wife, but the bee didn't know that before it killed him.
This really shouldn't be news.
You yooouuuuuu you silly gooseberry... I saw what you did there.
He’s a wife abusing billionaire, don’t mourn him
It's hard to tell rich people what to do.
We need to train more bees
The news: "He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club as he employed so many people and made so many friends — he was fun, kind and generous. He didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends — when he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal." He leaves behind a daughter and two young sons.
This forum: Didn't read the article, don't know anything about him but good on the bee. Yay death!
Billionaires don't get to be billionaires by being nice or good.
Name one "good" billionaire, I'll wait.
They also support each other with the media outlets they own.
This guy made his new wife sleep with his friends right after their wedding. They let news outlets release this to press back in the day because it was a man's world and they didn't care about the optics like they do now.
There are no good billionaires, prove me wrong.
I suppose JK Rowling, regardless of her personal politics, made her actual money by writing the world's most popular children's book series. Likewise George Lucas I guess is probably a billionaire too. And Taylor Swift.
But these are examples of incredibly lucky creators of novel IPs. There's always been a handful of these people on the lower end of the upper end of economic power.
Wait, did you start a sentence with JK Rowling? When being asked about a good billionaire? She’s literally a walking dumpster fire
I read one book and I was like, oh cute. And then I forgot about her until she became a cunt.
I disagree with her politics and bigotry... however, I think the poster was saying that she did not inherit millions to turn them into billions. She built a media empire on her own. I mean, I can separate the art from the artist in most cases but I can appreciate it without sending enriching them by purchasing secondhand or borrowing from the library.
Inflation made them billionaires by convenience, next.
Broadly I would tend to agree but... there's plenty of billionaires who give away billions. Rather than wait, just google it. It doesn't mean they're nice people but their money does good. There's no getting around that.
I know that most wealthy people give money either as a performance for others or out of guilt but that's still money given to people who need it. Personally I don't care about their motives so long as their money actually helps.
As for somehow creating some kind of socialist utopia where billionaires don't exist, you would be ignoring our entire history as a species. Sooner or later "some animals are more equal than others". It sucks, particularly if you are the sort of person who has an abundance of empathy but there it is. Best we can do, I reckon, is look after the people in our immediate vicinity. If we all did that mind you then maybe things would get better but I'm not holding my breath.
The suffering and death required to create and sustain any billionaire should bee punished.

I see what you did there. Bee smart. Lol
Like who, bill gates and Warren buffet? Are you sure they’re giving away their billions or did they just say so? Or are they giving their money to “charities” run by their kids and their kid's friends as a way to funnel their wealth to their children? Which is what buffet and gates literally do. These people are billionaires, you don’t think they have PR that tells them to say they’re altruistic? You don’t think they straight up lie when they tell you they’re giving away their money?
I think Gates' ex-wife has been administering a lot of money through her foundation.
News says he abused Karisma Kapoor.
(Googles it...) Wow... "She claimed in her divorce plea that Sunjay forced her to sleep with his friends on their honeymoon. She also alleged that he asked his mother to slap her when she was pregnant."
Scumbag confirmed.
Not just to slap her while pregnant, but specifically because she didn’t fit into the dress her MIL wanted her to wear.
You know how pregnant people tend to stay the same size throughout their pregnancy
What a little bitch (him obv).
There’s no such thing as a good billionaire. That’s like watching a man eating dragon sitting on a pile of gold and being like “yeah but he gave me a coin once”
To become a billionaire, you steal the wages, benefits, severance, etc. from all the employees that made you a rich with their labor. You become a billionaire by keeping 99% of the wealth from the work of others. Billionaires are literally hoarding wealth while millions starve. How is that a good man? If you’re a billionaire, you fucked everyone on your way up. You’re not good.
Absolutely, yay this particular death. Some deaths are righteous.
Fuck his friends and family.
