“Mark Zuckerberg made more than $28 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge” https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/02/business/meta-stock-surge-mark-zuckerberg/index.html
seems fair.
...your poster child for trickle-down economics. /s
He didn't make money, his net worth went up.
Also, how is that related to this in ANY way
He can easily get a low interest loan on that new worth going up.
Zuckerberg made 2,000 times more in one morning for doing basically nothing, vs. what DuBoise made in almost four decades in a settlement for a wrongful conviction and imprisonment.
It's pretty easy to grasp if you don't overthink it.
He built a successful company, that's what he did :)
But still, it doesn't matter, sucks that it happened to the lad, but comparing him to Zuckerberg doesn't do absolutely anything for him, it's completely unrelated to his case.
You're missing the point.
Again, it doesn't do him any favors.
If you want to push your agenda, that's fine, but piggybacking off of a ruined life (in quite exceptional circumstances all things considered) doesn't do absolutely anything.
What's the point? Should the guy have gotten more? He can live like a king without a care for the rest of his life. If he has children, those can, too.
Or is it that Zuckerberg shouldn't be "allowed" to own his own company, which coincidentally is pretty successful?
Because if it's the latter, it's unrelated to this specific person, you could post it under a cute kitty vid and it'd have the same value.
