This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah, I don't quite understand why or how we try to give the wives of these evil megalomaniac billionaires a free pass.

They are either complicit, helping them to be evil megalomaniac billionaires, or they simply do not care what the evil megalomaniac billionaires do as long as they get to live the rich life.

The reason is sexism.

Either people believe the wives to be innocent because something something men suck women are the best and can do no wrong unlike evil men,

Or

People believe the wives re innocent becausw they think the women too dumb to know what was going on or too disinterested to find out.

Both are sexist bullshit pushed by people who don't understand the rich are all in it together, and are all opposed to being held accountable by the poors
