In fact, one might say that the easiest bang for the Gates buck in terms of addressing climate change is pulling their anti-malaria funding. ;-)

Well, that's another whole issue that relates to policy. From what I've gathered, there's an ungodly amount of red tape involved in trying to be an upstart ISP at the residential level. So much so that one of the richest comp

If you don't need to work for money and are able-bodied, go build something with your hands. Buy a remote plot of land and build a cabin. Buy an inner-city plot and build an affordable house that you could rent out at below-market rate

It should be 0%? If men were angels, I guess. How do you propose that we demilitarize the planet, without a big stick to whack down the bad players that will inevitably arise?

Emergency powers that suspend fundamental civil liberties without judicial oversight are, in a democracy, only justifiable in times of an existential crisis of the nation. One can hardly see how the trucker protests qualify as such. Very di
