LINK SoulCycle owner Stephen Ross fundraises for Trump - Vox

Sorry, it's not an a la carte menu -- you can't just choose taxcuts and hold the racism, it's a package deal!

"As a fan of turning wealth into political influence, which begets more wealth, Ross wants to see Donald Trump continue to entrench himself in office. But at the same time, like a lot of other rich guys, Ross got rich in part by selling services to the affluent masses of urban America — specifically through the upscale gym Equinox and the bicycle “cult” SoulCyle — so when news broke that Ross was hosting a Trump reelection fundraiser at his Hamptons mansion where tickets sold for up to $250,000 a pop, it damaged Ross’s brand.

In an effort to stave off criticism, Ross told the press that he has “known Donald Trump for 40 years” and that “while we agree on some issues, we strongly disagree on many others.” He didn’t explain which issues were which, but he concluded by saying “I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education, and environmental sustainability, and I have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges.”"

Always about the Benjamins with these people. They can "overlook" so much shit since they have all the money.

"Ross has an estimated net worth of $7.7 billion"
What motivates an asshole with that much money to support a corrupt administration just to make a few extra bucks? It's not just that it's all about the benjamins, it's that they've lost all sight of what money is for, just a pointless exercise.

Fuck him. You can't claim to be "an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education, and environmental sustainability," and hold reelection fund raisers for a racist, bigoted, anti science destroyer of the environment. So fuck him.
