A better example to set would be to not exploit people to accumulate wealth in the first place.
I do that everyday. Everyone feel free to thank me.

No one gets thanks for being a decent human being, it’s sort of the standard that everyone is expected to hold to.
I would totally exploit people if I actually got the opportunity to do so, it’s just no one will let me do it.
Then you are not a decent human being? :P

That’s true. I just appreciate that he seems to do a bit more than Musk to at least keep the appearance of giving back. This still doesn’t get him off the guillotine list.

I don’t appreciate that one oligarch is better at lying to us than another one, that kinda makes it worse in my mind. Instead of telling ourselves comforting stories about how generous these societal leeches are we should be telling ourselves stories about how much better everyone else’s lives could be if they didn’t exist.
