He's spent like 65 million already.
Incidentally that's like .025% of his net worth. If you make 100K/year, the equivalent percentage of your yearly salary would be $25.
The French had a good solution for people like this. It rhymes with creatine.
I think you are a bit confused and replied to the wrong person. French food is pretty good but I'm not sure what Ovaltine has to do with this. Besides, it's British.
Ah thanks for clarifying! I was confused how poutine was involved.
He's just trying to be cool like all the other gaming-chair leftists by calling for mass executions.
In this case, they aren't even brave enough to say the word "guillotine," so let's assume the super wealthy are safe from their sweaty impotence.
Edit: 33 gaming-chair leftists (and counting) don't like this comment. 🤣
I would very loudly and gleefully call for the mass executions of conservative traitors, bigots and fascists if I thought I could talk like that and not get banned. So, instead, I just discuss the hypothetical possibility of such talk.
I do not value the lives of subhuman cockroaches, but it's not appropriate for me to identify who those enemies are on an internet community, so I remain quiet and friendly about it instead.
Civility is part of the social contract that is currently eroding to nothing. But once that contract is void, all bets are off... hypothetically speaking, of course.
Well sell, there, firestarter...

"Brave" lol, it was a joke. And saying a word online isn't brave, fuck that's cringe. God you people are dim, but you sure do love the way boots taste.
I'm calling you dumb and a boot licker if it wasn't clear, I'm just brave like that.
🙄
also rhymes with scopolamine
