    “Who dreams this crap up?”

    Working class people who make .5% what you do and don’t want to eat, sleep, and breathe work, you fucking fascist turd goblin.

    EDIT: We have been informed by our team that our numbers above were off slightly. We apologize for the error and pledge to quintuple-check our math going forward.

        Sounds like he should get domed along with everyone like him (and everyone that supports/bootlicks him).

      The insane thing is you are probably missing a few 0’s in there for the percentage. Maybe .05% or .005% depending on the company.

      .5% is generous. Kevin is a billionaire. If workers made .5% of even a single billion dollars, that’s 5 million dollars.

    When asked whether he ever encounters employees who silence their phones outside of work, O’Leary didn’t hesitate with his response: “The next moment is — I just fire them.”

    TBH they’re better off.

    There’s a lot of talk these days about people being cancelled. This guy seems like the sort of person that would be an excellent candidate for it. I believe we, as a society, ought to collectively express our disgust at this kind of behavior.

    So how is it done? How do we figuratively light the signal fires of Gondor and call forth the hosts to confront this evil?

      Rich asshole with a reality TV show? Probably just as likely that we elect him president, wait for him to commit treason and more felonies than anyone can reasonably keep track of, and then fail to hold him meaningfully accountable for any of it.

          He tried putting his hat in the ring for Canada’s PM. Didn’t get much momentum. His wife killing a guy with their boat came back up in the news. There’s speculation she took the fall for him because he was drunk and killing people while drunk driving your boat is generally frowned upon in Canada.

    A couple hundred years ago, Kevin O’Leary would be whipping his slaves to death for objecting to being raped.

      Isn’t it weird how common that is though? There’s like some kind of cosmic force shaping people to look like how they are. Probably fashion.

    I know people who live around where his wife was driving the boat and got in an accident and the people in the other boat died.

    They all think she took the fall for him and he was drinking and he was the one driving. They were both drinking let’s be real - heading home from dinner on one of the most exclusive cottage lakes in Canada gimme a break.

    Their opinion is he should have been charged and guilty.

    The wife got back to the dock and took a big drink if I recall correctly to “calm her nerves” - oldest trick in the book.

    Anyway, this shithead says what?

      As usual they get to live and their innocent victims pay the price.

      You know what would be awesome? If Kevin O’Leary died in a house fire, trapped and begging for his life.

      Is that harsh? I gave up caring years ago. These people have every possible resource at their disposal to not be absolute pieces of shit. But they just can’t stop doing shit that leaves millions of people dead, injured, or much more commonly, in a state of poverty or near poverty for their entire lives because these assholes never learned how to share.

      So I’ll say it again: I hope Kevin O’Leary dies in some excruciatingly painful way. Bonus points if him being a jackass kicks it off and he has to suffer the consequences of his own actions.

        I didn’t know who he is until this thread, but from the few articles I’ve since read about him, I absolutely hope he dies slowly from acid burns over 95% of his body.

      Some people think that barbecue - the cooking method where a piece of meat is slowly smoked for hours, often with a flavorful rub or sauce - was invented to make human meat palatable.

    My general sense of this dude from Shark Tank is he’s an asshole. After reading about him for 5 minutes, he’s definitely an asshole.
