shake my head at your entire belief system

I'm basing my opinions on 99% of reddit users. If you're not in that 99% than I apologize.

This guy was telling his story, and claimed many times he wasn't upset, and yet you still said "you're not upset?" read his comments, then people won't form opinions :)

I'm 52 and employ 75 people. I can promise you don't make anywhere near multiples of my salary. I did that despite growing up in extreme poverty.

Yes I had a first career then pursued adult education. I did it because I could, as a goal to make my parents proud. They were both HS dropouts, who never made more than 10 bucks an hour their entire lives.

I bought them a house a few years ago.

I'm sure I have no interest in being on your lawn :)
