Billionaire Christy Walton placed ad in the NY Times calling for ICE to release detainees: “Men, women, children, and babies are being confined in windowless warehouses, sick and dying from neglect, beatings, and poor conditions.”
I’m guessing she’s not invited to the Walton family cookouts

I’ve been wondering where the neoliberal billionaires have been at over the past year. George Soros turned off the “contact me” feature on his website last I checked

Is she the one who inherited the money because she married into the family?

Using their “fuck you” money appropriately.

She’s probably the only billionaire who deserves her wealth

She preaching to the choir. Run the ad on Fox News, Newsmax, etc.. Then, it may have some impact.

Is this a Walmart Walton?

You’d think someone with a billion dollars could do a lot more than take out an ad.
This is literally PR.

Did she design this one herself?

She’s a billionaire, with a “b”. She could weaponize lobbying groups. She could start rocking the boat and rallying support for alternative candidates in key areas. She could do literally anything. She bought a segment on a piece of paper and is calling it a day.
The disconnect between the ultra wealthy and regular folks has never been wider if she thinks that this is her doing her part when she’s A BILLIONAIRE.

When I was in elementary school I remember watching a French movie…ridecule. Pretty much a aristocrat decides to go to the court of king Louis with aim of convincing the king to pay for infrastructure on and near his lands so that the health of his tenants, serfs and peasants can be improved. This involved “playing the game” of being witty and charming. He succeeded at first but was eventually sabotaged by the other courtiers (such was life in that attention economy). At end, he left to do the work himself and in the epilogue, while most of the other aristocrats were killed during the reign of terror, he died a citizen of France and i believe served as the “state engineer” (not sure if its based on a true story). I have been thinking about that movie more and more these last few years. I am curious who will choose the path of service to the common person and whose head will be “something” from their “something”
It seems that only female billionaires have any soul left in them

At least put the date of the next protest in the ad.

Christy’s sister-in-law, Alice, funded the opening of a new medical school in Arkansas that just welcomed its inaugural class this past summer. The first few classes receive free tuition. This is what billionaires should be doing with their money.

A lot of these comments are a perfect example of why people who the left/progressives are constantly fractured and getting railroaded by Trump and the conversatives on a regular basis.
At least Republicans, as shitty as they are, tend to put on a united front, while more liberal minded people are constantly fighting each other and discrediting literally anyone who shows any real support, just because they might have a fault or two.

A past ad she placed for No Kings protest
I’m guessing she’s not invited to the Walton family cookouts
