    A tone-deaf oligarch is emotionally stirred…

    It’s disturbing to hear that there are people like this CEO who think this way. But it’s important to share such news. Thank you for posting this.

    I feel bad for that working mother - as I do for so many struggling people.

      You’re going to be disturbed quite a lot. There are a lot of CEOs like that out there. For example, Jeff Bozos thinks that the Amazon warehouse workers are lazy. These sociopaths would be crying with joy if an employee died in the process of making them an additional fifty bucks of profit.

        Yeah, it’s better than starving to death or being evicted, but this is certainly not ideal for a newborn. It’s not the mom’s fault, but it still has an effect.
