And then he compares his advantage that he has that these other historical figures did not.

"Best of all, we had revenue from terminal rentals, which meant we didn't have to worry about a news service paying for itself as a standalone product.

So Forbes was actually started in 1917 by BC Forbes, who was a, he was a Scottish immigrant actually.

And he had this motto that I still remember to this day, which was, business was originated to produce happiness, not to pile up millions, right? And I really believe that strongly, that there can be a really good angle.

And obviously right now, capitalism and all the bad stuff that comes with that is getting a negative attention and a bad rap.
