Anyone else disgusted by Richard Branson?

[Benny Profane]

Ok, whatever, Benny hates rich people. But, still, jfc, did you see the whole spaceship flight and post news conference? Are these people trying to start a revolution? He's all giggly, "I'm doing this now so that your grandchildren can in the future", uh, what the fuck, maybe your rich ass grandkids in between coke sex orgies, Richard, but, not ours. Temperatures breaking records all over the American west, reservoirs empty, condos falling into the sea, and we are watching these grown up boys swing their dicks at each other? Who, btw, probably paid zip in taxes for ten years. We're doomed, doomed, I say.

Btw, his "flagship" business, the airline, is in awful shape, barely in bankruptcy, and he was on his knees begging the British government to bail him out, which, fortunately they didnt do (unlike socialist America helping their greedy CEOs live the good life), probably, because:

"The request for government funds had prompted a substantial backlash, with some observers pointing out that Branson has paid the exchequer no personal income tax since moving to the tax-free British Virgin Islands 14 years ago."

I have to admit, that response warms my soul.

At least this space stuff is cooler than say Warren Buffet, who still lives in his ok ass house in fucking Omaha and the most exciting thing he'll do all year is auction off a lunch date with some dorks.

[Benny Profane]

Yeah, but, Warren makes money.

And, he pays a little tax, and has pledged his fortune to charity, not space rocket toys.

[AdironRider]

Benny, wait till you wrap your head around those 'charities'

It boosted his donations to the charities to more than $37.4 billion since Buffett, who turns 90 on Aug. 30, began giving his Berkshire shares away in 2006.

Four-fifths of the donations go to the Gates Foundation. The rest goes to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for Buffett’s late first wife, and charities run by his children Howard, Susan and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation.

Maybe I'm just as jaded as you are but making a big hullabaloo about not willing your kids your billions but just giving it to their 'charities' grinds my gears more than another billionaire doing what I (the rube) would want to do with a billion dollars. At least the space guys aren't bullshitting you.

[frorider]

Disgusting!

Well, those aren't Trump charities, they actually have to give the money away. Sure, the kids get a comfortable salary for managing the charity, but, it ain't hookers and blow.

He was just bullshitting me on my TV (gawd, CNN is going down in flames) that, as I said, this is just the beginning of (fanfare) SPACE TOURISM! (more echo and fanfare), somehow trying to address the criticism that this is just rich guys ruining the ozone layer a little more in their pursuit of kicks, all the while spending more money than God to do it, as most Americans can't even find affordable health care. Like 99% of humanity will ever experience such a trivial carnival ride in the future.

The way I read it a few days ago, those charities are open checkbooks to the kids. The guy is a hypocrite.

Disgusting!

Ok. Now I’m a Branson fan.
He should have brought her into orbit for the first space fuck.

I hope he’s quick, wasn’t he in “space” for just a few seconds.

C'mon man!

Besides, the DOJ would have certainly at least leaked rumors of wrongdoing over the years.

[liv2ski]

If you say so...

He had a couple hotties on the flight. He's definitely a rich douche. Id pay a fraction of that flight price...............to kick him in the nuts

Lol Bernie sure won't.

As far as rich douches go, could be a whole helluva lot worse, like the Kochs or Scaifes or DeVos/Princes or Sacklers.

Good taste in wimmyn and a skier, kiteboarder, and now assstronaut.

Shared a gondy cabin with him in Verbier, his skiing companion was pretty easy on the eyes.

The folks down in T or C NM are pretty stoked about it. They've been waiting years for their "Spaceport" to pay off.
