  • John D. Rockefeller was an American business magnate and philanthropist who played a significant role in the rise of the oil industry and amassed immense wealth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. John Davison Rockefeller was born on July 8, 1839, in Richford, New York. He grew up in a modest family and displayed strong entrepreneurial skills from a young age.
    In the 1860s, Rockefeller recognized the potential of the emerging oil industry. He co-founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870, which would become one of the most dominant and controversial corporations in American history. Through aggressive business practices and strategic acquisitions, Rockefeller's Standard Oil gained control over oil refining and distribution.
    After retiring from the oil industry, Rockefeller turned his attention to philanthropy. He dedicated a significant portion of his wealth to various causes, including education, medicine, and scientific research. His notable philanthropic endeavors include the establishment of the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller University, and the General Education Board.
    John D. Rockefeller's wealth and business practices made him one of the richest individuals in history. His impact on the oil industry, both in terms of its development and the controversy surrounding his business practices, is profound. Additionally, his philanthropic efforts continue to shape various fields of study and research to this day.

      Yes Rockefeller was definitely part sociopathic. His work however helped the public immensely. Without his efficient technique, oil would have remained unaffordable to the masses for a much longer period of time

    The only issue with this is that in all my studies of J. D. Rockefeller I've never found a proven example of him bribing any legislator. It would have been nice if you could have verified that claim because the thing is, he didn't need political pull. He was the quintessential genius of laissez-faire capitalism. It was the wannabe competitors that needed to bribe politicians in order to compete, not him. It's a sad thing when someone is attacked by government force simply for being the best at what they do

    Regarding the 'Cleveland massacre', Rockefeller was refining oil so efficiently that he could drop the price of oil significantly while remaining profitable, but that would kill his competitors. He also wanted CONSUMER oil price to go down for regular consumers to enjoy cheap oil. That why he offered to buyout their inefficient businesses, to keep them from bankruptcies. Very kind of him if you ask me!!
    Many would just keep the oil price high at the same time forcebly buyout theor competitors and enjoy massive margines for themselves.
    He was philanthropic baptist, who got on a mission to keep prices of oil low for REGULAR HOUSEHOLDS, by controlling all supplychains (railroads, piplines...) against those who profit for power & greed.

      Everything was more natural back then.. we got protein from meat ultimately due too the vegetation they consumed.. now they’re being fed toxic chemicals hormones and god knows what else.. our vegetables were more naturally treated and big pharma too.. ever notice when you go to the doctor no matter what you go for they nvr give you a prescription for anything remotely natural it’s always a chemically made pill spray or powder..

      Men of those times had a stronger will to live. That coupled with the toxins of our modern world (plastics, garbage food, pollution of city living) and modern “medicine” hah!!! However, these variables can be mitigated and navigated with a moderation of comfort, a bit of applied research, and a separation from modernity.

      Showed them the books, and showed that he could operate at a loss a lot longer than they could and he would dio the rail cord rates so low for transportation that they wouldn’t be able to transport oil through the railroads. (Keep in mind this is when America was coming into their first industrialization, and there were only 3 major railroads companies)None the less because they couldn’t transport they would go bankrupt, or he gave them an option sell out to him for his price and work for him.
