Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

Also introduced voucher schools because he didn’t want teachers telling him laptops won’t solve education

Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven’t been proven

It’s important to understand that any argument against improving one’s material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.
