“In retrospect, it was a mistake not being a billionaire before heading into this pandemic”

American actor and stand-up comedian Emo Philips tweeted about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic on December 10, 2020:
 
“In retrospect, it was a mistake not being a billionaire before heading into this pandemic.”
 
Many small business owners suffered losses during the pandemic, while many of the billionaires got richer. The tweet received over 40,000 likes.

Emo Philips (born February 7, 1956) is an American actor, stand-up comedian, writer and producer. His stand-up comedy persona makes use of paraprosdokians spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice. The confused, childlike delivery of his material produces the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the “wisdom of children” or the idiot savant.

In retrospect, it was a mistake not being born a billionaire. Not that money matters, just because it does! #MakingBanks
