    It ain’t happenin’. They say it’ll cost “over $1 billion.” Yeah, no shit. That’s technically true but also meaningless. It would cost many billions of dollars, many more billions than Kevin O’Leary would ever be able to acquire. It’s nonsense, he’s not a serious person and we shouldn’t take anything he says seriously. He also said he was going to build a massive oil refinery in the US a few years ago. Never happened. Never gonna happen.

    The only reason O’Leary ever had any money at all is because he sold the Learning Company to Mattel around the turn of the century for a lot of money. It was the worst financial decision Mattel ever made, and one of the worst financial decisions any company has ever made in the history of business. Mattel ended up taking a huge loss as a result of the acquisition but O’Leary got paid. He’s a terrible business person, none of his business ventures have ever been successful. He’s a charlatan.

      Shitheads like him should be sued to the ground. There can be no forgiveness for such tech plutocracy.
