It’s good to know there are people like Ford who has a humanitarian mission.

Once upon a time, industrialists like Ford understood the responsibility of being wealthy. Many became philanthropists, and their foundations and contributions continue to help fellow Americans many years after their passing. This article was refreshing given the self-serving greed exhibited by today's crop of self-serving tech bros.

That little anecdote regarding Bing Jiang selfie is wonderfully telling, so thank you for including this at the end.

I stood there watching it unfold. It was astonishing, really. Bill Ford was really trying to make a clean exit after speaking at a huge event under the hot sun. But he didn't hesitate. And, I swear to God, Bing was so darn happy afterward. A tiny moment meant so much.

Bill Ford is a gem.

He isn’t a very good businessman but he is a great human being, and in the end, that’s all that counts
