    The More I hear about the Epstein Files
    The more I am leaning into No

    It's not about having too much money
    It's about having too much power (which is what the money grants them)

    The fact that an Epstein Island Existed for over 30 yr says
    They had too much power and influence
    and
    Generally felt they were not only above the Law
    but Above common human decency

    Curious why you needed to hear about Epstein Island to come to this conclusion

    While the actions of billionaires

    Sean Puffy Combs
    R Kelly
    Russell Simmons
    Bill Cosby


    Were far worse in many cases, and they got away with it for decades?

    the problem with socialist like yourself is that you fail to understand the concept of creating. You want to take a billionaire from one place and out him in a shithole country and claim he does no good. Ofc not, the locals will have him for lunch. Instead build a billionaire from ground up, who can survive the socialist hyenas and much wealth all around will be created.

    They were "far" worse?
    Epstein had his hands in every western power and it was a island of 100s of billionaires
    who were raping and eating children

    I know for people like you . . .. a white man stealing billions is not as bad as a minority stealing hundreds
    You definitely defend the caste system of justice
    Epstein was working with men who INDIVIDUALLY were worth more than all 4 of them combines and multiplier by 50
    MusK - Gates -- Prince Andrew -
    They people didn't only did every immoral and unethical act known to man
    they used their time together to screw over the rest of society

    Most Billionaires make their money using economic tricks and buying out poorer people's ideas and knowledge
    They are not smarter than anyone
    They are not more innovative. . they simply have more money and the ability to buy/rant people far smarter and more savvy then themselves

    This ridiculous idea that these billionaires are boot strapping geniuses is the most hilarious think ya'll believe
    Just admit that you think they are favored by God and are the Chosen . . .and that is why you deify them and worship them

    Yeah, they were the worst (Musk wasn't associated with him). But epstein was prosecuted for 2 decades and ended up killing himself so the justice system didn't turn a blind eye to him. Right now my only issue is cancelling people who wrote random emails to him 25 years ago, before the accusations came out, but never went to the island or partied with him. Correspondence is not a crime. Neither is being in the same room as someone.

    My point was this excites race agitators like yourself, while completely ignoring deviant behavior in your own community. Bill Cosby and Russell Simmons were no different than Epstein , and likely more wealthy. R Kelly, Puff Daddy and Jay Z (who is in the Epstein files) had all kinds of celebrities at their parties, drugging and raping underage kids. But you never care when black people do it. You never care about black on black crime. All your anger is reserved for whitey -- that's the only reason the Epstein files has you suddenly worried about billionaires. Your entire worldview doesn't revolve around actions, but race. THis is why democrats so easily control your vote while providing you nothing.
