11 months agoI may be wrong but I believe Nikola Tesla was financed by wealthy New Yorkers after his separation from asshole Edison but they pulled the plug when they realised he was going to give away free power to people.
May be apocryphal but I think there was someone who invented a car that ran on water but big oil stepped in.
Reminds me of this fella: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanns_Scharff?wprov=sfti1#Scharff’s_prisoners
Scharff would refuse to use physical torture and instead befriended the POWs instead, taking them on days out etc. His wiki page is worth a read.
