ROFL at the old coot passing his disasters onto his offspring. Sorta like the fossil fuel giants who got obscenely rich and are now old don't worry about the future their actions 'bequeath' to humanity.

He brought Lachlan up to be a Mini Me. We'll see how long that lasts now that Pox has faced some consequences via defamation lawsuits. Depending on the SmartMatic settlement (which is why we haven't heard anything about a date for the trial, a trial didn' t work out all that well with Dominion), he might not have that much of an empire to lord it over. A settlement might also be the reason Rupert finally retired at the tender age of 92.

One hopes Lachlan will look at the diminished resources his old man left him and run the rest right into the ground.
