I’m so tired of billionaires. They have turned this country into an oligarchy, they have no respect for those who work themselves to death to stay 30 days ahead of homelessness. If people making in excess of 10mm a year paid their fair share, which would have far less impact in their quality of life-QOL than it does the majority of Americans. They got their man though, and now the money table gets leaned to the right even farther. Of course they’ll rebuild. Of course Malibu isn’t public property. That’s an illusion created by the ordinances that aren’t enforced. Billionaires destroy everything they touch these days and care not a whit about those whose money got them there. What really blows me away is that they are so stupid and arrogant they think we’ll just keep showing deference and allowing them to create a “New Rich Order” with Donny as their fake billionaire leader. Tax them at 70% like many other countries. Are the Stones and Sir Paul hurting? I believe they pay huge taxes to remain subjects.

I suspect a trump crony will build some monstrosity on the whole thing. Think. Again. 12 hrs ago #1
