The Daily Wire has been going through huge financial struggles which have resulted in many layoffs. However, most didn’t know what happened behind the scenes. The former CEO and co-founder of the company Jeremy Boreign recently revealed the issues with their movie and TV production as a hedge fund looking to buy or partner with the Daily Wire has said it lost $50 million dollars making a anti-woke Game of Thrones.
He’s also just an asshole rich guy, buying up half of Santa Fe. Maybe the guy really used to be a “hardcore hippy”, but in the way that they mostly turned into rich annoying boomers, so has grrm, except he’s more than the usual amout of wealthy, and has bought a train, a movie theatre, and various other Santa Fe institutions, pissing off the people living in Santa Fe in the process.
No, I don’t like grrm, and don’t believe there’s anything “woke” or “revolutionary” about him. Maybe his books are good, I liked them when I read them a decade ago, but I haven’t revisited them and likely won’t unless he actually finishes the series, which I’m quite certain he won’t
I just looked up your claims and you are full of shit btw. He doesn’t “own half of Santa Fe” he has invested money in 3 local businesses to keep them afloat (a bar, a bookstore and a cinema) and helped restore a historic rail line that was in ruins. He helps cultural charities and nonprofits. He lives in a modest house.
I think you read one hit piece on him and just made up your mind. None of this is damning and is probably the most benign rich people stuff imaginable. Engels did worse stuff than this lmao.
any wildly successful author is going to become rich, are we just setting the bar that no great author will ever be “good”? Can you not let the art stand alone? Just going to hand all popular media and art over to chuds to own?
Besides, buying a train and movie theater is exactly what 99% of users here would do if they suddenly came into wealth, not sure why you’re saying that like it’s a crime
