    Should we care what this guy has to say? I swear half the headlines these days are about the most random people who have opinions that don’t matter

      He’s a billionaire and president of some financial group. His opinion directly affects hundreds. It’s not some dickhead on the street this guy wields power. You have an opinion that doesn’t matter because you aren’t in a position of actual power. This guy is.

        While I hear you my complaint mostly comes from the idea that there’s a difference between awareness and outrage porn. In my experience on lemmy (and the website formally known as the front page) the tendency has been toward the latter. If we wanted to share awareness then the focus would be on an analysis on the opinions of all the dickheads with big bank accounts rather than one-off interviews. If it were about awareness there would be suggestions of materials, yt videos, and books to read. If it were about awareness then it would be about showcasing which dickheads with big bank accounts are slightly less terrible than the others so we can rally behind them to begin to affect change
