Rich white men throw pocket change at child of Indian immigrants. $500K isn’t that much, they didn’t even open their checkbooks
Agreed it’s not that much in context. However, the article says 125 people, which means roughly everyone in attendance gave near the maximum legal limit for individual candidates.
Sticking to the legal limit, are they? If they’re not finding loopholes and shady backways to funnel her more money (as is the behavior I have come to expect) I have to assume that they aren’t actually all that invested.
ETA: Not saying they AREN’T doing that still. I just haven’t heard about it (yet)
Yeah, I just don’t think that’d be openly tallied in the article, by definition, in this context. From a formal political perspective, going to an event and having all 125 people give the maximum amount is baller. In the real-world, she’d better have those shady back-channels active, too. Trump raised $25 million in a day back in 2019.
As fucked as we are because of it, there is a darkly funny poetry in Wall Street panicking over losing control of the legions of the willfully ignorant regressionists they created by robbing the commons , propagandizing division and hate, and making society compete against itself while destroying its only habitat, just to make the rich sociopaths richer.
This Trump hoard is Reagan’s monster all growed up, a literal cult of willful ignorance, and it has been trained to distrust any inconvenient facts (worked well for things like preventing addressing climate change or a rational, equitable economy), but now it’s self sustaining. It doesn’t even trust what daddy job creator says anymore.
TLDR: It sucks they’re eating all of us, but its satisfying to see them also pushing into the building of the Pharmaceutical that made the zombie virus out of reckless greed to begin with.
Convicted Rapist Treason Trump’s enshitification of our entire political system is extremely bad for business, and I’m surprised it has taken wall street so long to realize that.
It might be bad for business, but it’s good at making rich people richer.
Nimarata*. Please don’t use Fake Names.
Would’ve thought they’d bankroll Vivek instead. Excluding Trump I’d say he second in line for the Repubs rn.
They haven’t gotten over his complexion most likely.
