The world's poor..."Release the Bees!".
Is the bee ok?
You would think, with all his money and outdoor polo playing, that he would KNOW that he has a severe bee allergy and carry an epi-pen.

Hahahaha. Good.
Can we get an F in the chat for the bee heroine?
The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.
And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean....I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all "old wealth" and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)
It's not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn't absolutely manageable if caught early.
Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?

This is why we need to save the bees.
Literally no idea who he is but I'll celebrate the death of a billionaire no matter who they are. Fuck that guy - glad he's dead.
I beg your pardon: you're glad that he's dead?
Wait til you discover what he did to his ex before the bee took him out - you might even be thrilled:

I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.
anyhow, mad props to bees. They are heroes more ways than one. I actually find this quite inspirational. No matter how small and insignificant you may feel you are, small acts can still have big consequences.
keeping all that money didn't bring more security in this regard
Frankly his lavish lifestyle of bee eating was, in retrospect, not a good idea.
I was once on a farm, laughing at something, and a horsefly came up and bit me on the tongue.
I had no idea why it happened, still don't, but it was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me at that point in my life.
I got a cabin out in Shenandoah one time by Luray, and all the bugs out there are frickin massive.
I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.
So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Like at least two and a half inches long. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth

A friend remarked he was generous. That's why he had all those billions.
Is the bee a terrorist?
