I'm not really in a charitable mood with this guy right now.

    That wasn't the implication.

  I’m with you. Stuff that seems cartoonish to regular people does often seem to be serious from him.

    > Does often seem to be serious Kind of what I mean. I hadn't heard of this guy before today, and this memo openly laments that it's challenging to bring Africa into the world pollution economy because moving solid waste there is a logistical challenge. If this memo was about how cool it is to traffic and rape children, as some people in this thread and a few others today seem to be interpreting it, I'd probably be less inclined to lend it the benefit of this tone, but I'm just not sold on the premise that someone who is demonstrably evil in some dimension is incapable of making honestly benign bureaucratic jokes in a presumably private context. It kind of knocks the legs out of genuine criticism if the dude can't chew bubblegum without taking flack.

      Yeah fair points.

  I don't think it requires being charitable to acknowledge nuance.
