While it's entirely possible that Huang is a jerk, it's also equally possible that the biographer (who most likely has a journalist background) has biases of a particular mindset who has never worked in a perfectionist no excuses given business. A background that disdains billionaires and fits them into their narrative -- for example, seeing not the charity of giving to a waitress, but ego grandstanding by tipping big. If you ever are in the position that a biographer wants to do a biography about you made sure they have the same mindset.
@MXXppuf@Osint613 When Israel bombs sensitive places like schools or hospitals, btw there is no school during war in Gaza they turn into shelters, it is done with precision strikes to hit specific rooms and not the whole thing. Innocents still die but you don't give terrorists a stay alive card.
Germany's Merkel on Israel:
If you try to put yourself in the position of an Israeli prime minister, it is an incredibly difficult task.
If there is a bunker beneath every kindergarten and every hospital, and Hamas is sitting there, knowing that I can only destroy its position if I also attack what is above it, then the task becomes at least somewhat more complicated.
An Israeli prime minister must do everything to promise his citizens security, just as our citizens in Germany expect from those who govern them.
Remember the "Communism Will Win" West Point grad? He's on track for a PhD and regularly speaks in support of Islamic terrorism.

Now ask yourself who benefits from an illiterate society with near zero critical thinking skills
Now ask yourself who funds and promotes this teaching orthodoxy in public schools
"Here’s the thing: if a faith cannot survive a mordant Frenchman calling it silly without going crying to the courts, then the problem is the faith, not those who mock it. Religion of Peace? More like the Religion of Perpetual Umbrage."

Our society exists to basically keep people like this afloat. They contribute nothing and take everything. Our tax dollars keep them fed and healthy and keep basic infrastructure functioning. Meanwhile, they just coast off of everyone else’s contributions.
These people are the reason your local drug store locks everything behind plastic cases and why you can’t leave your bike unlocked and unattended for 5 minutes in public.
We need intense, Singapore-style crackdowns on this behavior.
