    Kind of agree, but he has shown he’s willing to fight for great causes despite his notoriety, he tends to speak truth to power, and he already knows what it means to be famous, so I guess it’s better than a lot of alternatives.

      Plus, he put a medal on a nazi so he doesn’t speak ill of Big Pharma again. He knows how to fall in line and do what he’s told.

      Again, not to take away from that… but it’s easy to “speak truth to power” when you are not in power

        It’s not about the ease of it. It’s the reflection of his character. He has enough money to fuck off and never peep again and live a life of luxury. He doesn’t.

          and he is getting handsomely paid to continue his show… if you’d tell me he retired from TV to just become and activist you’d have a solid point

            He was willing to go against Apple while being paid by Apple. I still have a valid point, and you have nothing but negativity. Sad.

              Sure a millionaire who could retire tomorrow and live in luxury for 3 lifetimes is not afraid of stop working… wow, what courage

              Sadly, you seem to be too deep in the problem to understand you are just adding fuel to the dumpster fire

            He did retire and did become an activist. He came back because of popular demand. Which is not something most politicians could or would do.
