David Koch dead? Rot in hell buddy
Where are you seeing this?
Jane Mayer
No thoughts, no prayers.
It’s summer, libtard. Who doesn’t remember those 110 degree days in the northeast as a kid, or wading through the streets on a rainy day in New Orleans, or watching water rise up out of the storm drains in Miami on a sunny day? SUMMER LIBTARDS, SUMMER!!!
Not going to lie, got a little smile hearing one of the big Koch brothers passed away. One more to go.
$40 billion and probably no estate tax. Great country you got there, very fair!
For the first hour of the election forum in Marysville, Michigan, on Thursday night the debate between the five candidates for a city council seat dealt with the local subjects you might expect – how to improve Little League fields, new real estate developments and the like.
Then the question came: “Do you believe the diversity of our community needs to be looked at?”
First to answer was Jean Cramer, a local resident running her first political campaign. She replied: “Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible.”
Her response, reported by the Times-Herald newspaper in Port Huron, sent a ripple of laughter and then shock across the hall. Marysville, a small town of 10,000 north-east of Detroit, is 98% white and 0.3% African American.
By most accounts it’s the other brother who is most involved in politics. David was involved too much at a lower level I think. He also wasn’t much involved recently in running the companies.
And to be fair, he was heavily involved in arts patronage. A lot of the stuff you see on PBS is sponsored by the Koch’s and that is (was) mostly David.
I thought he was ceo of Koch industries. Just from the quick info I read. All old white dbags look alike to me. I can’t distinguish between the two. I just want the wine collector one to outlast the other two.
Yeah I don’t think the Koch Family was/is a hands off donor. NPR is fucking awful for a reason.
David is also a major sponsor of the excellent Nova. But many argue it’s steered clear of climate change more than it should.
Koch sponsoring stuff on NPR, in particular Marketplace, was not a good thing.
Charles Koch is the most evil of the brothers and had done some forcing David out over the last few years. They forced another brother out a long time ago and they may have killed and eaten another one when they were children. Their father was a founding member of the John Birch Society and they weren’t raised right.
So apparently the CEO of Jimmy Johns is a trophy hunter and all-around garbage person and everyone should stop eating his sandwiches. Also apparently people knew this years ago but it’s only trending now for some reason. It’s news to me.
60 Minutes did a profile on the third brother a year or so ago, he almost sounds cool and fun to hang out with next to Chuck and Dave
Jane Mayer’s book on them is excellent.
Tbh I assumed everyone already stopped eating at JJs once they graduated college.
