      Yeah, or in the “student atholetes” episode by pointing out the exploitation, or when he negotiated for them to save the baby cows, or in the AIDS episode (not the beginning obviously but later that he was so driven to research, go to Magic Johnson, etc. - others would just give up), or saving Kyle and his family from smug storm, saving Ike from the pedo teacher…

      He’s a fucked up character for sure, selfish and immoral too, but often he does a good thing as well. He’s not a flat exclusively villain character with no good qualities, he’s much more nuanced than that. Imo his best trait is how extremely driven he is able to be, when he wants. Often for selfish or straight up evil reasons (or from position of fear of not being the “cool kid” he so desperately wants to be and is delusional in thinking he is), but can’t be denied it is a good character trait - there’s no success in business without this character trait. Every self-made successful businessman, has to have this trait to achieve success.
