| #10 Sounds like he was philanthropic with other people's money and land. I think it stands as ample proof that the gods hate us, in that the only people they let have tons of money are proportionally unable to use it properly *and* have screwed-up priorities. When was the last time you heard of a billionaire who personally pays to re-forest 10M acres of public land, not horrifically expensive; or creates an enormous aquafarm so that the Japanese no longer deplete all aquatic life; or pay for the creation of a realistic humanoid robot? Not a damn one. But they will pay $20M to get special legislation so that they personally can go to a convenience store and buy Thunderbird, their favorite beverage, at half price. |
