Social David Koch passes

[oldshadow]

Didn’t agree with him on something’s but all in all he was ok and did plenty of good things.

RIP

Pretty sure he was Anti War. Plus he seemed pretty charitable in his private life.

 

[Ophydian]

This is one of the more mind-bottling arguments I've seen in the war room. You people can fight about friggen everything.

That’s not entirely true.

 

[Shoemaker]

Christ. Imagine this place if Trump was assassinated. There is a true blood thirst with some around here.

Imagine this place when John Mc... oh never mind.

 

[Higus]

They didnt say he died of prostate cancer but did say he was battling it for 20 years.

I got to say that kind of shocks me. I would think with that money he would be able to get through that one.

Prostate cancer is very treatable, especially in later years when your body isn't producing as much testosterone. It likely didn't affect his day to day life very much until the end.

 

[Rational Poster]

Ah yes. He didn't march in a pride parade with red leather short shorts and he didn't participate in a bra burning rally so he wasn't truly down for the cause.

Pretty much yeah.

Just because he tacitly supported the idea on the basis of his ideology doesn't mean he actually gave a shit about it to any degree.

He spent his entire life pumping millions into anti-Gay candidates for the benefit of his personal fiances. Let's be honest here.

All Mr Koch had to do to get a heroes send off by the media and WR, was to be a more vocal critic of Trump in PUBLIC

Let this be a lesson to all Conservatives/Libertarians/Moderates who are on their death beds

 

[Axefan4life]

Oh shit somebody post the reaction of a juggalo that'll show 'em.

 

[Captain Davis]

It's not even subtle.
Like I said, the barbarity of the new left is eating their party alive from the inside out, so let 'em keep exposing themselves.

The whackier they get, the further they push people away. They are succumbing to the squeakiest wheels who are the lunatic fringe and ignoring their base.

Yep, I hope they keep it up

 

[SBJJ]

To be fair. He does not know the producers of any of the tweets he posts

 

[Rational Poster]

That's not the point. Lots of rich people started out poor and 'did something about it', thereby nullifying your assertion.

Do you think it's possible the minority of the wealthy that earned their wealth in their lifetime don't have the same life experience that the majority who inherit their wealth do?

Ditto to Michael Brown.

Equating some kid shot by a cop to America's worst polluters who directly have a hand in anti-environmental legislation?

The volume of Koch Industries’ toxic output is staggering. According to the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute, only three companies rank among the top 30 polluters of America’s air, water and climate: ExxonMobil, American Electric Power and Koch Industries. Thanks in part to its 2005 purchase of paper-mill giant Georgia-Pacific, Koch Industries dumps more pollutants into the nation’s waterways than General Electric and International Paper combined. The company ranks 13th in the nation for toxic air pollution. Koch’s climate pollution, meanwhile, outpaces oil giants including Valero, Chevron and Shell. Across its businesses, Koch generates 24 million metric tons of greenhouse gases a year.

For Koch, this license to pollute amounts to a perverse, hidden subsidy. The cost is borne by communities in cities like Port Arthur, Texas, where a Koch-owned facility produces as much as 2 billion pounds of petrochemicals every year. In March, Koch signed a consent decree with the Department of Justice requiring it to spend more than $40 million to bring this plant into compliance with the Clean Air Act.

The toxic history of Koch Industries is not limited to physical pollution. It also extends to the company’s business practices, which have been the target of numerous federal investigations, resulting in several indictments and convictions, as well as a whole host of fines and penalties.​

Somewhere in the middle of buttfuck nowhere a grief stricken @Farmer Br0wn puts his tractor into park and begins to sob uncontrollably.

“Why do the good ones have to die so young?! Whyyyyyyyy”

At the poker table, we have a toast whenever one of the good ones passes.

We'll be having a toast in honor of Mr. Koch tonight at the poker game.

Who cares?

People need to worry about themselves and their own lives and not what others do. All that is is jealousy.

Do what makes you better and don’t even think about about what others do. It’s not the wealthy people’s jobs to do anything for anyone.

Worry about yourself.

I'm sure you expressed the same lack of empathy when Aretha Franklin died, in light of her donations to anti-LGBT politicians like Bill Clinton.
