The 90-hour weeks part?
The fact that he was doing it for a fossil fuel company?
The fact that he’s worth fucking $9.5 billion?

Also, not in the headline, but-

The fact that he did it back in the 90s when you could actually successfully open a small business and make money from it as if it’s relevant today?

The business is a franchise called Raising Caine’s Chicken, which I’ve never had, but if you go by Yelp reviews, it’s either the best restaurant that has ever existed or pretty mediocre.

Also, Wikipedia says very little about his early life, but apparently his parents could afford to send him to a private catholic school, so he didn’t exactly grow up improverished.

    Nope. I wouldn’t have a single friend I could ask for a business loan. Guess I need to pull myself up by my bootstraps.

      Well I did hear that there a solution to being being poor that works 100% of the time.

      Get rich 🤡

      Jokes aside… These people want to blend within society so they can leech. They don’t think us as the same people and they act like it when it really matters.

      They do appear to hellva solidarity among themselves though while we fight each other
