Comment on I don't know what part of this headline depresses me the most: "52-year-old worked 90-hour weeks in an oil refinery to save money for his business—now he's worth $9.5 billion"

The fact that he was doing it for a fossil fuel company? Well the oil field is one of Louisiana major industries that pays well and depending on your job doesn’t require a college education to get into.

The 90-hour weeks part? Probably working a schedule like 2 weeks on/1weeks off or 2 on/2off, 4on/4off etc.

The business is a franchise called Raising Cane’s Chicken, which I’ve never had, but if you go by Yelp reviews, it’s either the best restaurant that has ever existed or pretty mediocre. It’s pretty decent fried chicken, even though the chicken tenders have shrunk over the years and price increased. Fries and texas toast are okay, Cane’s sauce (basically crawfish dipping sauce) is what kicks it up a notch.
