Everyone's talking about Zuckerburg, Gates, Bezos & all these billionaires stripping us of our freedom & rights but there are certainly some good ones out there. Let's make a list, try to keep them in mind & maybe patronize them when we can.

First & foremost is of course, Donald himself. Being president certainly cost him more than just money. He has sacrificed the reputation he had, the safety of his family & the list goes on. I've never stayed in a Trump hotel, yet, but I'm certainly going to consider it next time the options arises.

Next we have Robert Unanue of Goya foods. He stuck with supporting the president even against criticism & threats of boycotts. I like to buy Goya products when I can.

Patrick Byrne, former Overstock CEO is the one funding Sidney Powell & several others. It seems like he was tangled up in corruption of some sort but came clean & resigned from the company he founded & saw grow to billions. Now he is fighting on the side of good.

Can anyone think of any others? I know Warren Buffet & Byrne are personal friends. IDK where that leaves him. Has anyone heard him ever say anything about Donald one way or the other?

Any other billionaires?? Let's make a list!

Jim Simons. Watch his hour long interview on Numberphile. Brilliant man.

One of the best mathematicians alive (founded an entire field that turned out critical in physics), later code breaker for the military, and then started his own quantitative hedge fund.

Made billions and now uses that money to fund basic research (chronically underfunded due to no immediate economic value and political corruption in academia) and other projects such as paying good maths teachers a substantial bonus on top of their salaries.

He sounds neat, I wonder why no one ever talks about him

Our overlords couldn't possibly destroy the "evil billionaire" narrative.

Integral part of dividing the population and making sure that we fight ghosts instead of our common enemy.
