          Evil is banal - it’s become almost banal to repeat it by now. Serial killers are usually just idiots, billionaires are usually just worthless, and by the same coin, anyone worth a damn is usually too smart and nice to actually rid us of evil men.

          There are thousands of billionaires and no one does actually do something good or even cool (like free waterparks? Museums? A train fomewhere?) with their wealth. Even elon just bought companies, he’s no invetor or even creator.

          So boring on top if the obvious grift.

            There is a former billionaire in Florida who gave scholarships for everyone in a certain area who graduated. I can’t remember his name off the top of my head because he isn’t an attention-seeking asshole and I don’t see it every week.
