The billionaire-class in this country apparently has little appreciation for history, because otherwise, they would know that there is only so far you can push the masses before the masses turn. Geffen is testing the limits, by posting that he’s enduring the epidemic while cruising the Grenadines in his massive yacht, bigger than any McMansion in your hood.

According to Rawstory:

In a post in his Instagram account, the business magnate shared a picture of his yacht bathed in sunset light with the caption: “Sunset last night …. isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus. I’m hoping everybody is staying safe.”

How f’ing stupid, self-satisfied, and uncaring, does one have to be to post shit like that while doctors and nurses are literally remaking medicine on the fly in New York trying to save the lives of people dying alone, suffocating?

The billionaires are trying awfully hard to find the exact point at which the pitchforks come out.

Yeah, I was trying to say the same thing above, only I wasn’t as good at it.

Some people are clever enough to make ironic posts, while also seething with anger:

You'd think someone in the music industry would be less tone deaf.

And while we never wish harm on anyone, that doesn’t mean we can’t wish harm on that beautiful dingy you got there, David:

Dear Pirates,
Please sink that megayacht.
Love, The World

This tweet makes a somewhat interesting point. Do billionaires become so removed from regular people that they can intend something to be heartfelt and nice but not notice that they’re being complete dicks?

This might be intended to be nice.

All it's doing is pissing me off.

And as we often do, we’re going to end on one that both sends a message and is rather funny – sort of:

Your friendly reminder that Betsy Devos has multiple yachts and helicopters. At least David Geffen isn’t in charge of your children’s education.

The only people in charge of my child’s education are her mother and me, her teachers and staff at the school. Betsy can … but we do appreciate the point.

Appreciating the point is something beyond Geffen. Perhaps he could sell that yacht, get one half as big, and pay for 1,000 ventilators to help keep people alive.

****

Peace, y’all
