I think maybe the point about the Kid is being missed.

Yeah super rich. Yeah didn't want to be there.

But to change things you need people with resources on your side. The young are significantly easier to do this with.

If we demonstrate that we have empathy for all of the vulnerable (as we should) those young ones can see the power of empathy.

    Yeah, no. Kids want to be cool and respected, making it clear billionaires are hated will do so much more to wake them up

    And once a billionaire gives it all away to become just a normal person (with a few million in the bank as a safety net), we make them a hero

    "Then I stepped back and gave them space to set [Suleman] up, because he really wanted to go," she said."

    This is from the mom in a BBC article. And he was 19 not a kid.

    Yeah, hating on the kid simply because his dad has money forces him into an us-vs-them situation. It does nothing to help.

    Not to mention, it is exceedingly gross to cheer the death of someone just because their dad has money.
