    Seriously - how can any person be so brazenly and thoroughly warped?

    I can only assume that, like so many of the fabulously wealthy, she’s profoundly mentally ill, such that she really can’t grasp the enormous human cost that fulfilling her petty, selfish and ultimately pointless desires would entail. It can only be the case that she genuinely can’t grasp the fact that the millions of people who would be made to suffer or die for this are actual people - actual beings with lives and loved ones who are every bit as important to them as hers are to her.

    It’s either that or she’s genuinely evil, in the purest sense of the word, and on a scale the world has rarely seen.

    So which is it Ms. Adelson? Are you insane or simply evil? There’s absolutely no doubt - none at all - that it’s one or the other.

      Psychopathy.

      To get that rich, one needs to be able to think of other people as things. “Human Resources” as such.

      If other people are things then there’s no moral problem “decommissioning” them be it redundancy or killing.

      What would make her evil is, if knowing this, she makes no effort to mitigate it. Given she’s a billionaire: evil.
