Mine is Henry Ford. He’s the catalyst of the 40 hour work week and 5 days a week that has been standard to the present day. Because we’re seeing now how little that really does for anyone anymore, where people are having to sacrifice more of their freedom to work second jobs or more hours than they should.

I don’t think it’s his fault directly for those reasons, but him thinking the 40 hour/5 day a week plan is a good one is just a poor reading into the future with the way it’s gone since the establishment.

    Henry Fucking War Crimes Kissinger

    He lived a long life and died peacefully, thinking he got away with it all. That only means bringing him back for punishment would be the perfect surprise of an afterlifetime.

      Solid choice.

      I’ve been reading a book about the Theranos scam and learned he was on their Board of Directors, and it made me a little happy to know that, at least, he got taken in by a con woman and lost a shit ton of money.
