    Whenever someone is a successful businessman, I assume either:

    a) Arms Dealer, so these are all Yuri Orlov.

    b) or something worse, such that if we learned about it, we’d wish it was just some guy selling used AKs in Africa, for instance the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma. Or an arms dealer who represents the United States.

      My rule of thumb when I meet a rich person is that they probably killed someone/something. Arms dealer, environmental engineer who signed off on a mine that killed off an endangered toad, high-end lawyer who got some criminal asshole off the hook, shit like that. Never do I think that someone improved society.

      Prove me wrong kids. Prove me wrong.
