It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He probably has enough money to live on for the rest of his life without working again if he wanted to. At that point, you either have principles or you don't and Jack Black clearly doesn't.

Apparently he has $50 million.

Ah, enough that he, his children, his grandchildren, and his great-grandchildren need never work a day in their lives.

Apparently if you buy 1$ million worth of state bonds, the yearly payout will be about equal to a teacher's salary (depending on the type of bond of course). That's not a lot, but it's enough to live on in a lot of places. He can buy that fifty times.
