Sorry, I’ve been pre conditioned to assuming every billionaire is an asshole and broke multiple laws to hoard unreasonable amounts of wealth (this fucking yacht for example) while actively making or passively watching other people live in poverty.

Fuck him, his acquittal, his boat and every one of his billionaire friends.

Well his 18 years old daughter died onboard that day, much like the kid in the titanic submarine. Only her mother survived. Maybe she was a little rich brat, maybe she would have become a world savior, who knows.

I’m all for eating the rich, but not before they are at least 45 years old, 18 is just sad.

I think you're still right though. regardless of the situation with HP, he still created a company that, when sold, made him a billionaire. I don't think that is possible without also exploiting people.
