@patterfloof Warren Buffet, I think?

@patterfloof Buffett, of course, not buffet. Though it seems clear he's likely been to one too many of the latter…

@zdl ah right, I'm non-US so hadn't seen/heard much about him

@zdl though a buffet is also a footstool ...

@theruran Could you please translate this into a) coherence, and b) English?

Thanks in advance for your hard work.

@zdl BIPOC = Black, Indigenous, & people of color

@theruran No, I meant the whole thing. How do billionaires give my wealth to BIPOC?

This is an invitation to think before you write. To write a coherent sentence that communicates instead of duckspeaking.

@zdl I was addressing billionaires to give their wealth, not that they would read this anyway. it was a mood today

@theruran @zdl There was a comma missing to make it clear, but anyone reading it charitably would have understood it either way.

@clacke @theruran This isn't a case of "uncharitable". This is a case of "bewildered".

Someone embedded in modern-day sloganeering might be able to get the intended meaning, but someone not thusly embedded (hint: me) was faced with a sentence that made no cognitive sense.

It was a sentence that was grammatically … let's be polite and call it "ambiguous" … paired with jargon in a seeming non sequitur (since there was no context in which addressing billionaires was a natural outcome).

You may not go as far as a man would if you're an Ivanka or a Paris, but your family's money and connections will still get you further than most people.
