    “Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.”

    If this isn’t a Honeypot it is absolutely hilarious that think that billionaires being “lost” is them leaving the country.

      It sounds like yet another dumbass that had their brain scrambled by the horrible sci-fi writer named Ayn Rand, who was even worse at philosophy than she was at writing prose. Surprised they aren’t just outright saying they are threatening to “go Galt”. 🙄

      There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
