OMG, I just had to google to make sure that RBG wasn't the Ginsberg saying nice things about Roger Stone. Phew.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

He will, without a doubt, get a pardon. I may hate how he wields it, but that power is in the Constitution. Tr*mp's, and Barr's, interference in the Stone case (and Flynn -- he'll get pardoned, too) are corruption (IMHO).

but running a business is still hard work in my definition.
Absolutely, and creating a successfully business is a helluva accomplishment. I have a lot of admiration for you and anybody who's managed to create a profitable business.
The next part doesn't have anything to do with the above.
I don't know Bloomberg's story, but it's not really about that, there's this idea that massive wealth inequity is just fine because the rich have earned that money through hard work and the poor are poor because they are lazy, that's just not how the world works. The way Bloomberg talks about his wealth makes it sound like he doesn't realize that.

Our wings are not tired.
Harsh words and 40 months. Oh well, whether it was 40 years or 40 months he will still be pardoned.

I ate at a tea room place. English run. had soup and salad, very good. They use vintage dishes all mix match and have vintage tables and chairs all mix match and I will eat there often. They also sell English foodstuffs so if anyone comes to visit and wants double cream or canned Heinz beans - I've got you covered.
