    You’re not quite understanding that all of the diapers and soap were owned by billionaires at the time it went up in smoke.

    Billionaires already owned all that merchandise. They did buy it, from paper mills chemical plants and other factories. But they didn’t get to sell it.

    He did do something to the billionaires.

      To them it was a numeric figure on a piece of paper, to the rest of us it was necessary supplies. The owner isn’t even a billionaire, the CEO has about 12M Net Worth.

        They weren’t your fucking supplies! They were owned by the fucking billionaires!

        It’s a publicly traded company. It is owned by a whole shitload of people. I’m sure I hold a few shares within the mutual funds in my portfolio. If you have any sort of investment portfolio, you very probably do too. But the predominant shareholders are billionaires, not working-class investors.

        The CEO is not the owner. He has some shares, sure. But the overwhelming majority of Kimberly-Clark is held by fucking billionaires.
