  • although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone

    Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

    Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

    And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

    At which point, they’ll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.

    Even if Selfridge’s entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the “full quote” is the better quote.

    I can’t imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes “the customer is always right” is more correct of a saying without “in matters of taste”.
