    In 2019, Ginsburg helped establish the award with the Opperman Foundation to celebrate “women who exemplify human qualities of empathy and humility.” The organization later opened the award to men, renaming the trophy as the Leadership Award while claiming to aim for gender equality.

    Ah yes, because when I think of empathy and humility I definitely think of Musk and Murdock.

      I was only talking about the quoted passage because I think it’s funny in a sad way that the foundation deliberately left out the original criteria in their statement and that they don’t seem to care whether the contributions to society created a positive impact.

      Let me be clear. The only award those two deserve is the “Fuck you, Shitbag” award. If I had to guess, I’d bet they were chosen for the award by making significant contributions to someone’s pocket book.
