      George Will is a conservative commentator whose name is familiar to us olds. He used to write in Newsweek when it was a prominent magazine back in the day and was on TV. I imagine he is a never-trumper so what is surprising here is not that he would refuse to vote but that he will vote for Harris. That can only mean that the old guard conservatives recognize trump as an existential threat to the country which he is.

        most of the super-rich folks prefer stability over chaos.

        Like a lot of people talk about how rich Musk and Bezos are. They’re likely not the richest people in the world- they’re the richest people in the world dumb enough to talk about how rich they are. The Rockefeller family, for example, has who-knows-how-much stashed away in blind llc’s etc, and all the Old Money types pay a fortune to maintain their privacy.

        People like the Koch brothers (well except that fourth one that’s not talked about,)… they endorsed trump last time around because he promised to deregulate everything- and they’ve been on a tear ever since they got dinged for benzene leaks in Corpus Christi.
