So sick of inspirational posts from rich celebrities. As if any of this is going to affect them in any meaningful way aside from shifting more of the tax burden onto us.

This particular celebrity spent time in a concentration camp, though. Let him speak truth to power.

If I recall correctly, he was put in a Japanese-American detention camp when a child. So I’d tend to believe him on this.

I know what he experienced, but he's insulated from whatever happens in the next few years, by virtue of being wealthy.
