There is no secret I am a thorn in the hinds of the elites. They have been exposed on this websites every chance that I’ve had. I came at no surprise to me these same elites were happy and giddy about the untimely demise of one of theirs: Tony Hsieh, former CEO of Zappos.com. Last month the WSJ wrote about Hsieh last days from eyewitness accounts The Rise and Fall of Tony Hsieh (Kirsten Grind, March 12, 2022). Hsieh forgot Silicon Valley Commandment #1: Don’t drink your Kool-Aid .
“When [singer] Jewel and her employees walked into [Hsieh’s Park City] mansion, the house was dirty, with hundreds of candles dripping wax onto furniture, carpet and countertops. His dog left droppings on the floor.
Signs instructed visitors not to clean up the trash, particularly outside of Mr. Hsieh’s bedroom. At one point, Mr. Hsieh had told a visitor to teach the world not to produce so much trash, it was better not to trow trash away at all. Showers and sinks ran constantly, unattended; Mr. Hsieh and his entourage were trying to mimic the sounds of waterfalls.
The house couldn’t be cleaned because it was “nature”.

I’ll leave you to read the rest. While Hsieh’s passing is regrettable, it is a stark warning of the world of disjointed, dysfunctional people at the top of economic elites.
