I heard he's not going to do business in NY going forward because of the decision and penalties against Tr**p.
Did I also hear that Tr**p is celebrating O'Leary's decision and support on this?
Does anyone know anything about this?

(9,178 posts)I don't really watch the show, but I did catch part of one episode in passing in which he berated a woman with a startup business. She was selling stuffed animals that sang cute songs that were customized to each individual child.
When the panel began questioning her about her business model, she told them that she wasn't entirely into it for the profit, and that 50% of her cost of manufacturing went to the composers who wrote the music and lyrics for each client.
O'Leary went off on her, telling her that he'd never invest in her company because the music should be generated by AI so she could pocket the extra money.
Fuck him.

(7,873 posts)...I've seen enough of his interviews elsewhere that he has proven to be everything we dislike about the wealthy -- especially wealthy conservatives. He's been on my "be wary of" list for a few years now. I used to watch and enjoy Shark Tank, but after seeing some of his interviews and takes on issues outside of that show, I purposefully avoid it now.
