Easy for a guy who never has to work another day in life to suggest other people need to change their work / life balance. What Forbes calls China’s “cutthroat work culture,” of 996 (9AM to 9PM, six days a week) others simply call human rights abuse. [Media: https://youtu.be/EkuVqdj8O6E?t=193]

      Because you know you can’t win.

      Crazy how Americans’ rhetoric changes when they start losing to a more-communist nation.

        No, because I know that “my country winning” in some imaginary billionaire dick waving competition is not something I give a shit about.
