He shouldn't get 56 million let alone 56 Billion. A ridiculous pay package. How about putting that money into the hands of those who do the actual work so they and their families have a better life.
so you’re suggesting that we take something that belongs to one person and we give it to other people. Did I get that right?

Posted in: An average of 140 women and girls were killed by a partner or relative per day in 2023, U.N. says See in context
Globally, an intimate partner or family member was responsible for the deaths of approximately 51,100 women and girls during 2023
and
The highest number of intimate partner and family killings was in Africa – with an estimated 21,700 victims in 2023
Let's do some math.
World population 8 billion
Africa population 1.4 billion
21,700 victims out of Africa population of 1.4 billion
20,400 victims out of World population (excluding Africa) of 5.6 billion
Africa has more than 4 times the number of family killings than the rest of the world.

I remember the case. I have no sympathy for this murderer, but his survival skill is amazing. He outran a whole groups of cops barefoot, with no money on him, and still managed to hide and survive for several years. And now it seems he is privileged in prison.
Was it his skill or the lack of skill on the part of the officers?

“We don’t want our children to be exposed to extreme violent video games or to pornography or to suicide material or to things that are going to cause them problems with their mental development such as body dysmorphia and weight loss and stuff like that,” Allen said.
Sounds like parents should keep an eye on what their kids are doing. If they can't, then keep them off the internet.
