83. I'm shocked at the level of Zuckerberg support in this poll

Sun Apr 30, 2017, 07:56 PM

Apr 2017

These billionaires mostly have horrible, awful ideas, individually and collectively, about how to run a society for the benefit of real human beings. Spare us the "wisdom" of Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Richard Branson. I have seen nothing to indicate that Zuckerberg has a remotely progressive bone in his body so I find it truly startling that he has any traction at all on DU.

The only thing he has shown any clear talent for is making money for himself.
