he's in china working on trains and renewable energy
rockets and wifi satellites are only solving problems because corporations have sucked public infrastructure dry for generations
- iknowstuff 2mo agoah yes the "wifi" satellites
- micromacrofoot 2mo agoyeah yeah you're being reductive because you want to dismiss it, but that's essentially what they are... it's not like the dude is solving world hunger (which he is uniquely resourced to actually do), he wants to be space AT&T and is capitalizing on the degradation of public infrastructure using the funding that should be building it
- iknowstuff 2mo agoIt's a bit naive if you think lack of money is the cause of "world hunger". There is plenty of money, and governments have far more than he does. On the other hand, connecting previously unconnected (and some unconnectable) regions is a huge boon to their population. Starlink is great.
