While I am very interested in liquid hydrogen based propulsion, I get quite bored reading the words of someone who uses their arithmetic chops to count other peoples money.
Funnel your energy into production, not mindless gossip.
- anonsivalley652 7y agoOutrage is clickbait gold. So, that is production in for-profit blogging or pseudo-journalism, and also in the business of social media. That said, Bill Gates is both a public figure and a billionaire, so is fair-game for a lot of criticism. He does set a good example, in general, with immense contributions to global public health and policy. Also, there's no U-haul's behind Hearses, so I would buy 50 Singer Porsches and a 747-400ER and crash them into each other with a trebuchet. If someone has more money than they could ever spend, invest or give-away in a scalable manner, then why the hell not buy an aircraft-carrier or a hydrogen yacht? Furthermore, balance sheet inequality is beyond severe in many countries yet there are people in various economic strata who seem to blissfully revel in denying the real pain of others; "Upton Sinclair effect" (paraphrasing: It's difficult to get someone to accept facts when they benefit from pretending they doesn't exist.). For more details and because it's not worth getting into politics online, I suggest Robert Reich's channel [0] and his brilliant documentary Inequality for All [1] and the Infographics video on the disconnect between perceived distribution, desired distribution and actual distribution [2]. 0: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuDv5p8E-evaRSh542hDV5g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuDv5p8E-evaRSh542hDV5g 1: https://inequalityforall.com https://inequalityforall.com 2: https://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM https://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM
