Who even is this?
- Asshole billionaire founder of asshole company Oracle. For reference, they sell cloud solutions and AI shit. What he says is that he wouldn't mind a totalitarian surveillance regime of us peasants to make a quick buck.
  
  Start by putting cameras in his house
  
  Well he's a billionaire so he probably does have some already, what needs to be done is to make these accessible to the public and sell the data to private companies. Just to see how this fucks feels about it.
  
  I know what Oracle is and what they do, never thought about what kind of asshole their founder was, though. I guess most big tech companies were either founded by assholes or bought by assholes (or both)...
  
  You have to stomp faces to get to this kind of wealth, pretty much all billionaires have empathy issues, either from birth or acquired.
