The amount of exploitation and destruction of the environment that it takes to accumulate 1 billion dollars can never be offset by any amount of โ€œgoodโ€ that is done by money. If I extract resources and a exploit a community and get a billion dollars, then turn around and give every cent back to that community, surplus value will still be lost.

Tony Khan created AEW and seems to genuinely care about his employees. He put on a private plane this week so the wrestlers could attend the funeral of Bray Wyatt and still make it to Dynamite
