        Sounds like you care about someone very rich and very exploitative, and you don’t like the idea of scores of people cheering in the event they’d have the same done to them by someone they’d exploited.

        I want to assure you that we do not care about your feelings. We’ll celebrate their passing and few will sympathize with your grief.
