What does it say when the only way to 'celebrate' these billionaires is to steal valour from labourers?

and even the photographer that took the picture!

If you want students to do well in life, including in their careers, then give them the tools to forge their own path. They don’t know what tools they might need, and neither do we. We should be offering them a rich array of skills, rather than pretending we are a widget factory.

Generally, yeah. However, I was testing to see if it could do something quite specific (spoiler: it could not).
