Finally, Baxter might be participating:

BT says:
No one ever said he invented it. What he did was bring efficiency to
its production and distribution that others could only eventually copy.
It became a very inexpensive product used for decades and people were
better off for this. Other producers couldn't match his ability to sell at the lowest prices which would have meant fewer people using it and benefitting.
Baxter:
> and it was soon replaced by electricty.
BT:
So what. That's normal in places that are not highly controlled by the State which would have too many disincentives for improvements. Besides, oil switched to use in combustion engines which again helped make people's lives better and kept us centuries ahead of the rest of the world when it came to lifestyle, comfort, etc.
Baxter:
> Given that Rockefeller is your idea of a beneficent god for the people
BT:
Never said he was my idea of "a beneficent god" for the people (you are addicted to lying through your yellow, crooked teeth, aren't you?), and neither Rockefeller not anyone else has to be good in order to benefit others.
Baxter:
> Rockefeller lived lavish at the expense of his workers.
BT says:
Again, that's too misleading. None of them had to work for him. So he made money. So what. It's been reported that George Clooney made over $200 Million in 2017 - when will you point out that loads of people involved in the production consumption of his product (which leads to him getting paid) get little, or in some cases (such as ushers who no longer exist in many theaters) don't work at all?
Once again you failed to point out how people would have been better without Rockefeller existing to do what he did.
