    In my personal opinion which everyone will probably hate, any athlete or musician or actor (“entertainment” celebrity) is way overpaid once they hit the top 1%. There is absolutely no way any of them should be billionaires (e.g. Taylor Swift), and probably not even make more than a few million in their lifetime.

    On the other hand no CEO should either. Everyone is replaceable, no one should be earning that amount of money. They didn’t earn the place from talent and hard work, that someone else didn’t put in just as much or be just as talented. They were simply lucky.

    Don’t even get me started on influencers.

      Would anybody pay $200+ to see U2?

      sigh apparently…

      A bunch of my friends were stoked for the warped tour revival crap and I’m over here like “some of those bands haven’t practiced in five years… Go see someone currently good.”

      It ain’t like there’s a shortage, but hype and name recognition is all some people care about.

      “yeah, they sucked”

      Wouldn’t they…?
