I don't understand how anyone can spend vast amounts of money so self indulgently, apparently without it even entering their head that they could do far more worthwhile & probably far more rewarding, things with that amount.
Like this guy, Sadio Mane. He built a school, a post office a hospital in his village.

Zuckerberg has always been disliked by most who came across him even in his college days when he set up Facebook.
He has been accused of being an Alien in disguise (a joke of course, but pointed)
He's always been a ruthless businessman like MicroSofts original leader, Bill Gates, but of course these days Bill Gates is very generous with grants etc.

Yes, at least Bill Gates & his former wife have done some good with what they gained.

Not worried about the environment either hey heisenberg, I guess God must be taking care of you and thus by extension all of us.

Well, there's a disappointment.
RE: How The Other Half Lives - king1 - 05-05-2025
the Cardinals going into conclave are going to be mightily disappointed to hear this when they get done...
RE: How The Other Half Lives - Oh_hunnihunni - 05-05-2025
Not half as upset though as Francis must be...
RE: How The Other Half Lives - zqwerty - 05-05-2025
heisenberg, how did we get here then?
What is taking care of our depredations of the Earth?
RE: How The Other Half Lives - Oh_hunnihunni - 05-05-2025
We are an accident zqwerty. A fluke of chemistry and energy. But, as energy is never lost, only transformed, hope remains...

Unfortunately, energy is degraded with use...a process called increasing entropy.

Depends though, on how you define degradation. Sometimes that is just a process of change.

Yes I guess so, then who is looking after the Earth and protecting it from the billions of people now doing whatever they like to the ecosystem. Once upon a time there were far fewer people and it wasn't such a worry.
Is it just a fast train ride to hell and inevitable that any intelligent species faces this challenge and non succeed in beating it because after all we haven't been visited by space faring aliens so far as we know? Also known as the great filter.
