I know we’re having a good time laughing it up at Bezos possibly losing half of his money in his divorce but please let’s stop and take a moment to realize that losing 67 billion dollars will have absolutely no impact on his quality of life, which makes for a rudimentary but functional litmus test for determining whether or not someone has too much fucking money
also his ex-wife isn’t going to do anything with that money but hoard it as well
there is nothing inherently more ethical about a female billionaire
Wouldn’t it be amazing if she’s actually pulling a Robin Hood here and “stealing” from the rich to give to the poor? How awesome would that be?
I totally understand the impulse to try to be hopeful about that, but it’s a fantasy that comes from the same place as acting like Melania needs to be saved or treating Ivanka as a moderating influence on her father
rich white women are loyal to money and we cannot trust them on the basis of gender. they’re not anyone’s allies but their own.
