“With his net worth of $200 billion, covering the Washington Post’s financial deficit would be the equivalent of a person making $100,000 a year paying $50 to save over 200 jobs.”

@Craig_Phelps Net worth is not the same as income, but I get the point you are trying to make
@Craig_Phelps @HelloCullen without wapo, who will be left to do full time PR for israeli genocide?
@Craig_Phelps I had no idea the Washington post was still published?
@Craig_Phelps You should correct the analogy if you hope to make a point.
@Craig_Phelps You don’t throw good money after bad money
@Craig_Phelps @kenklippenstein or less than the equivalent of *subscribing* to the @washingtonpost
@Craig_Phelps Why the switch from net worth to annual income?
@Craig_Phelps Better analogy is the $100,000 person giving up one of their children. You see, billionaires live their money more than anything, and they just can't give it up.
@Craig_Phelps Net worth does NOT equal 'money on hand'. No, it's not the equivalent of a person making $100k a year doing blah blah blah. Because he does not have $200 bil in cash; he has stock in a company *valued at* $200 bil. You cannot pay employees with that.
@Craig_Phelps Or the Post could do a better job at reporting the news and boost subscribers!
