Billionaire promises to do the thing that people want billionaires to do and often say they are evil for not doing

People react by dragging him

Let's not start patting him on the back for promises he could very easily not keep.

I hope he buys the Amazon Rainforest and names it the Amazon Amazon Rainforest, and I think there's a reasonable chance of it happening if it becomes a big social media thing.

As a private owner of the land he can stop all deforestation, allow only scientists and other specialists in the land, and also make some sick branding opportunities.

Let's push to get these promises out into action.

"No one is allowed to learn from the mistakes of others" is quite the take. Guess I'll just start burning trees down because the people in charge already made things worse.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Turns out I wasn't in charge of the country. Shocking, I know.

Man who has a history of forcing people to piss in bottles says he'll start being nice

Like yeah, let me know when he actually delivers on that

Promises mean fuckall, lets see him do it first. Its a little hard to believe coming from him specifically, whatwith the peebottles and such.
