the united healthcare thing reminded me of this old gem

I like the cut of your jib, sailor.
Except for that one billionaire's son who was likely coerced into going with Dad and didn't fully understand the risks ... :( but otherwise, - yup -
He's the only person I had any sympathy for, that was definitely his dad's idea.
There's literally two astronauts stuck in space right now. They've been stuck there for months because Boeing's shit keeps breaking.
Not billionaires though.
There are no good billionaires, all of them are scum. Yes, Bill Gates is included, regardless of all the donating he does. Until the day someone becomes a billionaire off of an idea to truly better humanity, like a cure for cancer, aids, etc. Actually useful technology, like a way to interface a camera with the brain to restore sight, or something like that. There will never be a good billionaire.

If they were good then they would give it away and not become a billionaire
Torvalds is probably the closest example we have to revolutionary betterment today and he’s not a billionaire
I've seen optimistic estimates that Linus makes ~$10 million per year from Red Hat stock. Even if that were true, it would take 100 years for him to be a billionaire. Can we focus on the actual billionaires before coming for him?
No one was coming for him
I was using him as an example of a good person
