Weird take, friend.

Just out of curiosity can you find me one, single, example of a person in 2022 blaming Thomas Alva Edison for their life sucking?

I hope you understand the downvotes are not proof of your opinion. Edison was a genuinely awful pos and a hack who stole from and/or slandered other better inventors. No one but con artists should look up to him.

Lol he is unquestionably one of the greatest innovators of all time, as is Jobs. You crying on the internet saying they were mean is not going to change that fact.

Its kind of a fact of history that he did though. What's the hard on for Tom Edison all about?

Saying that something is unquestionable in face of questions to that very thing is silly. Make a counter argument instead of just repeating the premise.

Yes. You’re correct. It not being a fact changes that fact.
