[zazie_toujours]

David Koch, billionaire and part owner of the oil refinery-based Koch Industries, is dead. He and his brother Charles are known as some of the most generous donors to conservative and libertarian political groups in the United States, and have donated more than 100 million dollars since the 1980s. While the Kochs preferred to work in the background

I cackled so fucking hard when I read that. Didn't even matter that I am in the middle of a cafe. Wish I could frame it lol.

Anyone who wants to know more about the Koch Brothers and their influence in politics should read Jane Meyer’s Dark Money.

Anyway, good riddance David!

[zoaster_toaster]

I second that recommendation.

He's one half of the dynamic duo that has made American politics a complete nightmare. I can't embed on my phone but this segment from Patriot Act broke down just one of the ways he and his brother used their money to ruin everyone else's life: https://youtu.be/1Z1KLpf_7tU

yeah what matlock said

he double sucks bc he 1. used inconceivable amounts of money to fuck and influence american politics and b. got rich off technology that has destroyed the climate. the kochs liked to keep out of the spotlight and ghoul away in the shadows so it's not weird you don't know him. good fucking riddance to dave, may he rest in piss.

[zazie_toujours]

1 and b lmao
my mind

[mend]

bye!
