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 Kissinger. Whenever you needed the most depraved, amoral, anti-democratic take on anything, whether it was the Vietnam war or the Khmer Rouge or the civil rights movement, you could always count on Henry farking Kissinger.

      I have a celebratory drink every time I remember he’s dead, I don’t care what else I’m doing, it can wait

        For decades I was always surprised he was still alive. He seemed to live forever commenting on foreign policy. Just saw your post and was surprised he had died.
