I think money becomes an addiction to some people. They can't fathom the amount of money they have and keep penny-pinching, nickle&diming and tax-avoiding like they were common millionaires.
The dude is 92, he could spend a million dollars every day for the rest of his life and still not run out of money.
Even if he wanted to leave a "legacy" for his kids, he could reduce that to a measly $500k/day and still every one of his kids would be a billionaire.

"What will evil do after the villian dies." Good question, not rightly phrased.
The right is busy eating itself & schizmatically pushing ever more rightward. Will Fox keep following forever? Is there any limit to where it will go? Might some family member develop spine or consciounse? Time till tell, stay tuned. Good article recapping the pregame.

That was a good read. If only you could make every Fox News viewer read it.

the show Succession really did borrow a lot of details from the murdochs
> Murdoch seemed trapped by the people he radicalized, like an aging despot hiding in his palace while the streets filled with insurrectionists.
This is what struck me the most though:
> During the day, Murdoch watched the stock market and took Zoom calls while Hall took online courses in UC Davis’s winemaking program. (Hall told friends Murdoch wanted her to do it so he could write off $3 million of vineyard expenses as long as she worked 500 hours a year on winemaking.)
Murdoch just sold his entertainment empire to Disney for over $70 billion, a significant fraction of which belongs to him and his family, and yet he had his wife spend a quarter of the work year on wine making to save a fraction of $3 million? What a small man.
