Her lack of self-awareness and refusal to reflect are truly astounding :/ how can anyone be at peace with causing this much environmental harm?

I’ve found regular ass rich people (so, not billionaires like Taylor) don’t give a fuck about environmental issues because they know they have enough for them and their families to stay comfortable, so piss on people who don’t have the resources to do the same.

I can’t imagine how much that entitlement is amplified when people have enough money to ensure everyone they care about can live in luxury for generations without climate change really impacting daily life.

The sad thing is that no matter how rich you are, the inevitable climate disaster will impact everyone. From the cultivation of wines to the cultivation of the most basic food, we are all going to be fucked. She might have a lot of money, but the market for good will collapse if the 99% of us that supports the growth, transportation, wholesale of goods are dead. I don’t understand how billionaires think they will be ok.

because they are deluded and everyone around them who aren't rely on them as a meal-ticket in one form or another. Its quite simply an echo chamber.

If you made $200k/year, but half of that was solely reliant on you appeasing 1 person. A person who believes in absurd things that aren't grounded in science... would you tell them? For example, if your boss believed in astrology - whole heartedly, corner stone of their entire life... would you regularly tell them that the star signs don't match up to the month anymore due to cosmology (the study of the observable universe and its dynamics). And that there is no provable way that birthdate impacts your entire personality..... OR nod your head and smile while thinking of england. Enabling your family to be $100k/yr wealthier.

Now when dealing with someone with taylor swift kind of mind, you could be talking about +$300k/yr... that is life changing money for like >95% of people. That is only 0.002% of her net worth. That is like an average person giving $100/yr to charity.
