George westinghouse didn't steal others patents for himself. He had his workers names on them. Edison treated tesla like dirt.

01:05:54 Edison didn't earn the Congressional Medal of Honor. That is the US's highest military honor. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. That is for civilians for distinguished contributions to the US.

All those so called ruthless inventors/narcissist competitors/glorified wealth hoarders always prayed on less fortunate smart intellectuals with real gift of talents to serve humanity behind the scenes.

[StephenTrunkwalter]

Brilliant inventor/Dubious businessman🧐

[davidcouch]

I spoke with someone whose father worked in the Edison Laboratory. She related that one of his workmates was fired when he divorced as Edison wouldn’t have a divorced man working for him.

Without Thomas Edison we may not see CDs and DVDs today.

I’m building a channel focused on true short stories too – this inspired me!
